Re: [Veritas-bu] Backup exit notify

Here is what I did. I added the sendmail
call in my script and have the script "su" to the allowed user
before calling sendmail.
Something like this:
su $EMAILUSER -c "cat $RPT_DESTN_DIR/some_report.txt|/usr/lib/sendmail
-f $SENDER_EMAIL -t $RECIPIENT_LIST "
Notice that sendmail had the -f parameter,
this changed the from and $SENDER_EMAIL could be your david.clooney AT bankofamerica DOT com
$EMAILUSER is the non-root user that
has a valid account on the system. $RECIPIENT_LIST is the e-mail
addresses to send the message to.
Hope this helps

Thanks everyone
Just did a bit of digging around
as I am quite aware of the exit notify scripts and have now totally bypassed
them i.e
I have removed all notify scripts
from the bin directory.
Settings on the CLIENT
USEMAIL = david.clooney AT bankofamerica DOT com
SERVER_SENDS_MAIL = YES
Upon the completion of a backup
I still get a confirmation email from root AT masterserver DOT com.
I am convinced this is incorporated
into a binary somewhere and as NBU runs as root when the mail is sent it
picks up the user, this I need to change somehow
Am I going mad ?

We set up a special account that is allowed to send e-mail from the server
being backed up, and "su"-ed to that user before calling sendmail.

Does anyone know how to change the senders address when backup notify is
executed on the master server?
i.e. at the moment we get root AT masterserver DOT com
Need to change it to adhere to policy
Thanks
Dave
