Take a look in ovactiond.log and look for error messages.

Subject:  TRAP AUTOMATIC ACTION not working ???




Netview 5.1.2
Sol 2.6

I have set up a test trap in Trap config.

I enter "This is a test" in PopUP Notification box for the new evvent
and also a script name in AUTOMATIC ACTION box.

I use the "snmptrap" to generate the trap and I get a POPUP but the
script doesn't seem to run.

I execute script as standalone and it works fine.

The script is very simple it just ECHOs "This is a test"

I have tried putting the full path in but still nothing.

I have followed the ADMIN guide on how to do this.

 Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?


Thanks for any help.
