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.
