Error: APMcapture - bad argument
Argument 1 is '<value>'.
Contact Metron ASAP for information and help
Meaning: The value of the capture state parameter must be “active” or “inactive”. Anything else will produce this message
You are running as root.
The Metron scripts must NOT be run under root.
Meaning: Self explanatory - the Acquire must not run as a root user
The APMconfg file doesn’t exist.
Meaning: Self explanatory - the Acquire checks for a valid APMconfg file and if it cannot find one it will output this message
The APMconfg file isn’t complete.
I have tried to read it <n> times, pausing 2 seconds each time.
Meaning: Either the APMconfg file might be updated when the Acquire reads it or it might not be complete
The maximum number arguments that can be passed on are less than or equal to <maximum>
Excluding the -e option <n> parameters were passed on to <script name>.
The program <script name> will abort.
Meaning: The APMcapture script should be passed no more than 3 additional parameters when called from cron, this message will be displayed if they exceed 3.
The parameter number 3 has to be y or n
Meaning: If there are three parameters, the third parameter will cause the capture of user data if set to “y”, or not if set to “n”. Parameter three was neither of these
The /sbin/runlevel file doesn’t exist.
Meaning: Check the existence of the /sbin/runlevel executable, if it does not exist, display this message
