Ross,

From the Netview Windows User's Guide -> Working with events and event

filters -> Actions on events:

Using the Tivoli NetView program, you can specify actions that are
automatically performed when a specific event occurs when you select
Options --> Trap Settings. This feature provides quick notification
for events that are critical to your environment. The types of actions
you can configure include the following:

Display an error dialog using the nvecho command. Refer to the IBM(R)
Tivoli(R) NetView(R) for Windows(R) Programmer's Reference for
information about the nvecho command.

Send an e-mail message using the nvmail command. Refer to the IBM
Tivoli NetView for Windows Programmer's Reference for more
information.

Send a page using the nvpage command. See Paging support for more information.

You can also configure any action that you can run in a batch file.
You must specify the fully qualified path name for the batch file and
enclose any arguments to the batch file in double quotes (for example,
c:\mydir\myaction.bat "param1 param2").
