File monitors

 

You can use a file monitor to notify you whenever a selected file has changed. Or, you can monitor for a specified size or for specified text strings.

After you have created a file monitor in Management Central, you can start, stop, and display details about the file monitor in iSeries™ Navigator for Wireless. The file monitor summary window displays the system on which the monitor is running, the path to the current file you are viewing, the size of the file, the last date and time the file was modified, and the changed text that triggered the file.

In Management Central, multiple users can share file monitors. When using iSeries Navigator for Wireless, you can view all shared monitors, not just the file monitors that you have created.
