The message you see in the events window is constructed.  Sometimes, for a 
particular trap, it is contained in a single variable, such as $3.  This 
is true of most NetView traps.  Other times it is composed of fixed text 
and variables, such as "Interface $3 is in status $4".   To pass what is 
see in the event window, you would have to pass the same kind of string 
that trapd does for that trap.  It is not exported in a variable anywhere. 
 The variables pieces are exported as $NVATTR_1, $NVATTR_2, and so on, so 
you would have to pass the proper combination o those and any fixed text 
to your script.

Hope this helps.

        Subject:        [nv-l] How would I pass the event message to script 
using ruleset?



We are running Netview 7.1.3 on AIX.

I have a ruleset with action that executes a script.  I would like to pass
the entire message as it would appear on the event monitor to this script.
Are there variables similar to $NVE, $NVA, etc that contain the message?
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Regards, Peter.
