In a ruleset. when a pre-defined node isn't available to do what you want, then
you can write your own script or program and use an Action node to have it
execute. Here's an example from another user:
Subject: Re: Sending emails from the ruleset editor
I would suggest using a script file to send your e-mail message.
This is the line I usually use:
echo "message" | mailx -s "subject" user@id

You can use the $NVxxxx environment variables to say whatever you want in the
message.
OR you could do the same thing from an automatic action for a trap and not use a
ruleset at all,
but there you would reference the variables as $x. See the man page on
trapd.conf for details on that.

Subject: Trap Processing
If I want to mail me an email message with all the trap information when a
specific trap occurs what would be the best way to do this? When defining
rulesets I don't see any template that will allow you to forward the trap
info to an email address.
Thanks,
Dave
