I need a little more explicit clarification here.
It looks like I may need a script after all. In it I would be taking
the result of a Query Database Collection and running it through an
action...are the variables going to be known to the script? Say the
action is just "/usr/local/bin/notify" and notify consists of the
following:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $NVATTR_2 = blah ]
then
mailx -s "blah is down!" lan.pager@ucop.edu
fi
Would this work without my defining $NVATTR_2 in the script? Is the
script being run as if it's issuing from a shell in which the Trap
variables are already defined?
