It would help if you would include the platform you are using.   UNIX? NT?

Basically you pass parameters to nvmail from trapd using the "$n" syntax, 
the same way you do for any command for the platform you are on.  The 
on-line help in "Trap Settings" (NT) and in "xnmtrap" (UNIX) explains this 
kind of thing in some detail if  you will take the time to read it. 

On NT you will want to run the command as a "Hidden Command" and use a 
syntax like this ( I had this attached to "Node Up"):
C:\usr\ov\bin\nvmail -server ferrari.raleigh.tivoli.com -recipient 
jshanks AT us.ibm DOT com -subject "test node up" -message " $1 $2 $3 $4 $5" 
On UNIX  it would be very similar:
/usr/OV/bin/nvmail -server ferrari.raleigh.tivoli.com -recipient 
jshanks AT us.ibm DOT com -subject "test node up" -message " $1 $2 $3 $4 $5"

Hi All, 
Has anyone used the nvmail to send mail when an event occurs.This command 
works fine but then can anyone tell me how do I pass relevant parameters 
for the event so that the mail message makes sense and helps identify the 
node/event from where the event is generated.
An urgent help is needed. 
Regards
