Automatic Log backup

I read that altering the ALARMPROGRAM parameter allows for automatic
log backup. I did so but it doesn't look like my logs are being backed
up automatically.

I modified the alarmprogram.sh and used that in my parameter.

Am I missing something?

This is what's in section 23:

# LOGICAL LOG FILE COMPLETED

# onbar assumes no operator is present, so all messages are
written to the
# activity log and there shouldn't be any output, but send
everything to
# /dev/null just in case
printf "Subject: $INFORMIXSERVER : $EVENT_SEVERITY_NAME :
$EVENT_MSG\n" >> $MAILHEAD
printf "$EVENT_ADD_TEXT\n" >> $MAILBODY

# TO IMPLEMENT LATER
# If there is already a logical log backup don't launch onbar again.
if ( `test x${BACKUPLOGS} = xY` ) then
$BACKUP_CMD 2>&1 >> /dev/null
EXIT_STATUS=$?
printf " '$BACKUP_CMD' has been executed and returned CODE=
%s\n\n" $EXIT_STATUS >> $MAILBODY
else
echo "Script will not backup the logical logs."
fi

# Now check if the logs are near to fill up
NUMLOGUB=`$ONSTATCMD -l | grep U-B | wc -l`
NUMLOGF=`$ONSTATCMD -l | grep F- | wc -l`
NUMLOGA=`$ONSTATCMD -l | grep A- | wc -l`
NUMLOGU=`$ONSTATCMD -l | grep U- | wc -l`
NUMLOG=`expr $NUMLOGU + $NUMLOGA + $NUMLOGF`
PERC=`expr \( 100 \* \( $NUMLOGUB + $NUMLOGF + $NUMLOGA \)
\) / $NUMLOG `

if ( `test $PERC -le 10` ) then
PERC=`expr 100 - $PERC`
printf "\n-------------------------------------\n\n" >>
$MAILBODY
printf "WARNING : MORE THAN 90 PERCENT (%s percent) OF THE
LOGICAL LOGS ARE FULL\n" $PERC >> $MAILBODY
printf " A LOGICAL LOG BACKUP IS NEEDED. SEE INFO
BELOW\n" >> $MAILBODY
$ONSTATCMD -l | grep -v Blocked: | grep -v Block: | tail +4
>> $MAILBODY
fi
