# Earthworm Module:
Ewnotify Overview

(last revised 20 May, 2011)

Monitors a ring for ACTIVATE_MODULE or alarm messages; generates email and posts a message to a ring for an instance of activated_scripts.

ACTIVATE_MODULE messages are considered as tests, while the others (THRESH_ALARM or ACCEL_ALARM) are considered real; except for the subject line of the email, and the first token of the message for activate_scripts (TEST, THRESH_ALARM or ACCEL_ALARM), the behavior in all 3 cases is identical: the body of the email and ring message will be a copy of the body of the message that ewnotify read in .
