Unless "nocase" is specified, the default is "case" - i.e. case-exact. If "nocase" is specified, the scanned text will match regardless of case (i.e. text can be upper, lower or mixed case).
If a group of words such as "Change your password!" is the pattern, there will be a match only if every character, space, etc. of the scanned text matches the pattern exactly.
Pattern: "{|nocase|}{(sylogin)}"
Pattern: "{|nocase|}{(cluster_login)}"
Results: Matches will be found if the words "sylogin" or "cluster_login" are found in upper, lower or mixed case.
Pattern: ("sylogin") and "{|case|}sylogin"
Result: Since the default is "case", these two patterns are the same and they would only match on text that is lowercase "sylogin".
The text is at the beginning of a line.
Pattern: "{|bol|}UAF>"
Result: Will match if the line starts with "UAF>".
A match will be found in:
UAF> xxxx
No match will be found in:
Should "UAF>" be displayed ...
The text is at the end of the line.
Pattern: "Passwords{|eol|}"
Result: Will match if the line ends with "Passwords".
There is a match in this text:
This is important - Change your Passwords
There is no match in this text:
Passwords need to be changed often
The following examples show how to use several options in a pattern.
If searching for specific characters in a banner line such as:
Payroll for January 31, 1997 Page 1 |
the following pattern can be used:
"{|bol|}Payroll for ?* Page {0-9}*{|eol|}"
If you want a match on:
Admin Payroll for January 31, 1997 Page 1 Officer Payroll for January 31, 1997 Page 1 |
you can use this pattern:
"{|bol|}{<Admin|Officer>} Payroll for ?* Page
{0-9}*{|eol|}"
8.4 Maintaining E-mail Distribution Lists
An E-mail distribution list can be used to send a message to several
users. For example, you can specify an alert action of "EMAIL
distribution_list" (distribution_list is the name of an E-mail
distribution list) to cause INTOUCH INSA to send a message to multiple
users when an alert incident occurs.
You can create new E-mail distribution lists and/or maintain current lists. To create or maintain E-mail distribution lists, select the E-mail Distribution Lists option from the Maintenance menu.

When you exit from the editor, you are returned to the E-mail distribution list menu.
To delete an E-mail distribution list, delete all lines in the file.
8.5 Page File Maintenance
NOTE: The INTOUCH INSA page feature is an optional
feature. If your INTOUCH INSA box is not set up to use the page feature
and you wish to get this feature added to your box, you can contact
Touch Technologies, Inc. for information.
The page file contains page records. Each page record contains information about a person who can be paged when an alert incident occurs. "Page" is one of the actions that can be set up for an alert. For example, you might want to be paged when someone accesses the password file. If this is the case, one of the alert actions would be "page xxx".
Before you can use the paging feature, you will need to contact Technical Support at Touch Technologies, Inc. (800-525-2527 or 619-566-3603) to get assistance in creating the page script file. The script file contains the actual paging instructions, and is used by INTOUCH INSA to page someone. |
You can add and delete records in the page file. You can also review and change information in the page records.
To perform maintenance or inquire on information in the page file, select the Page option from the Maintenance menu.
