Thanks Don -- Didn't try it this way (obviously).
I'll pass it along.

Subject:  [NV-L] Corrections to previous post : "Execute command from
      action serv er"



For those of you who want to try this at home.....
1. I mis-spelled (cut/pasted) octetstringascii
2. Don't forget to add /usr/OV/conf/rulesets/CMD.rs to
/usr/OV/conf/ESE.automation before bouncing the actionsvr daemon

I successfully just executed a command with actionsvr from a trap.
Here's how I did it:

Ruleset Name = CMD.rs
------------------------
Event Stream = Block
Trap = hpux - Cold Start
Action = $NVATTR_1
------------------------
ovstop/ovstart actionsvr
------------------------
snmptrap <NVserver> .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.2 <NVserver> 0 0 0
.1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.2.0 octetstringasci "/usr/bin/X11/xclock -display
1.2.3.4:0"
-----------------------------------------
This popped a clock on my PC workstation. I assume it would work just as
well for shutdown -F. I didn't try that!
Of course any trap would have worked, I just happened to pick hpux.
