To Create a custom_probes File

1. Using a text editor of your choice, create a Bourne shell script text file named custom_probes.

2. In the custom_probes text file, define the probe and comparison functions you want.

   Note -

   You can define probe and comparison functions that require arguments in the custom_probes file. When you subsequently use the corresponding custom probe keyword in the rules file, the arguments after the keyword are interpreted in sequence (as $1, $2, and so on).

   When you subsequently use the corresponding custom rule keyword in the rules file, the arguments are interpreted in sequence starting after the keyword and ending before the next && or begin script, whichever comes first.

3. Save the custom_probes file in the JumpStart directory (next to the rules file).

   Ensure that root owns the rules file and that its permissions are set to 644.
