No, it's not a new command.  I screwed up.  nvmail is an NT-only 
executable. 

On UNIX you would use the mail command which comes with the operating 
system, as for  example
echo "$2 is $3" | mail -s "test node message"   jshanks AT us.ibm DOT com
If you like, you can write a simple script and alias this as "nvmail" 
(which is how I got confused).  Sorry.

Is nvmail a new feature/command. I am running 602 on AIX 4337 and do not 
have this command.

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 
Vikas Gupta
