Usage notes
- If you want to set up email notifications to be sent by the fault
monitor daemon, you must have SMTP running on the local host. The DB2
fault monitor does not have a setting for specifying the SMTP server.
In order for the fault monitor to send email notifications, you have
to bind the hostname to the SMTP server, or, as a workaround, make
the hostname an alias of the localhost in the /etc/hosts file.
