I use this all of the time. It works fine.
Two things that have to be done:
1) You have to specify the full path-name, and the disk-drive (if not
on drive "C".
2) You have to use double back-quotes when specifying the path.
i.e. D:\\usr\\OV\\bin\\nvecho.exe "$A $1"
I assume this is because of the standard use of the backslash as an
escape character. Why MS decided to use it as a path-delimiter has
always been a mystery to me. Oh well!
Finally, make sure that there is someone there to hit the "ok" button
and close the popup window (within some reasonable amount of time).
On one of my systems they tended to ignore this, and after a few hundred
popups appeared... the system seized up.

It would help if you would describe exactly what you tried .
Can you get nvecho or nvplay to work from the command line? The syntax
for
nvecho is just
\usr\ov\bin\nvecho <message_text>
You can get the syntax of nvplay by typing
\usr\ov\bin\nvplay /?
Once you get these to work from the command line, you should then try them
in
the Trap Settings.
I am not sure which if the types you should run your command as, Hidden
Application, Windows Application, or Console Application. So you might try
them
all.
I have seen others on this forum say they have this working so perhaps they
can
comment if you will tell us all what you tried.

Hi,
I tried to run with nvecho and that didn't do anything. In fact the help
files don't even have that command in there. Nvplay didn't do anything
either. Any other ideas.
Thanks
Alok

Please get in the habit of putting a subject line in your appends to the
list.
That makes it easier on all of us.
Thanks
Check out nvecho (pops up a message) and nvplay (pops up a message and
plays a
wav file)

Hi,
How do you go about getting your traps to pop up in Tivoli for NT. It looks
like you have to put a string in the command window in trap settings option,
but not sure what string to put in there.
Thanks for the help
