I believe you have to add an environment setting for 
"AdditionalLegalTrapCharacters" in either the netview.pre or netnmrc.pre file.  
Search the archives, you'll find several references.

Subject: [nv-l] "\" in ip address



Hi,

I have Netview 7.1.4 for AIX

I'm using an action like this to send me Netview alerts by e-mail:
echo "The device $NVATTR_2 generates the following event: $NVATTR_3" |
mail -s $NVATTR_2 mymail AT mydomain DOT com

After I upgraded Netview for actual version, the $NVATTR_2 parameter
returns an ip like 10\.10\.10\.1

Is there a way to get this "\" out from the IP?

Thanks!
Eduardo
