Matthais,

The ovxecho command will attempt to display a window on your X display
containing the arguments.

The command from the script below will only work if it the ruleset is activated
from an events window where the shell variable $DISPLAY is valid.  It will
display a window on the screen that contains the text:

     "Router Down Alert for $NVATTR_2"

The standard out from the ovxecho (which is probably nothing) will be sent to
the Mail command, which only has a subject line.  The message will contain
nobody.

If you change "/usr/OV/bin/ovxecho" to "print" or "echo",  your script should
work.
