2009/12/16 Su, Alan <Alan.Su@xxxxxxxxxxxx>: > GUI front end is nice to have but not required. We. have a system that collects network speed information in mill seconds from different hubs and this infor is stored on various Postgre tables. Throughout the day or at end of the day, I need to run a process/job that will summarize these speed data from the tables, and when the number exceeds certain threshold, say 50 ms, I want to generate an alert email to support staff for investigation. > > I may expand the requirements further down the road, but main processing logic should stay similar to what I described above. So what's the good tool to use for this background job? > Alan, as Kevin Grittner suggested, maybe you could just write a script using bash. Otherwise, if you need more than that, and don't want to do the coding yourself, do you have a budget? > > Alan.
