In 5.1.2 $T in NetView for UNIX and NetView for NT are exactly the same.  The
UNIX code was ported to NT. This was fixed by APAR.  For NetView traps the $T
value approximates the amount of time since netmon (or whichever daemon is
sending the trap and netmon sends over 90% of them) became active.  It is in
reality the difference between when he sent his first trap and now.  And since
the first thing netmon does is to send a trap, this is as accurate as it gets.
Prior to 5.1.2, the value in the NT code was just a dummy value of "1".

If you cannot or will not put on 5.1.2, then you will have to decide how best to
approximate your own start interval.

Subject:  Date/Time information




How can I print Date/Time as a results of "run command" with Netview NT-Trap
Customization ?
I've tested a simple batch that send an e-mail via command line (utlility
freeware named blat) with 2 variable
$2 and $3 for event description and source.I would like to send also the
date/time of the event
I know that $T on Netview  Unix is correct, but on Netview NT the meaning is
different and doesn't work.
I use Netview NT version 5.1.1.

Any suggest ?

Thanks in advance
