I am presently running a shell script based on certain events within my netview
rules.
The script currently sends an email to users and the email appears to come from
the root
user on the netview box (netview is running on AIX).
I wanted to change the script so it rexec'ed a program on a Solaris box that I
have so, given that
the netview rules seemed to use the root userid I created a .netrc in root's
home directory
that contained a machine / login / password entry for the solaris box so the
rexec would auto-login
to the solaris box with no user prompts.
When I run the script from a root shell on the netview box everything is OK but
when I run
it from the netview rule it fails. I redirected the STDOUT from the rexec
command to a file
and it "appears" to contain the start of a user prompt.
Does netview really use the root user or am I being fooled by the email step
described above?
Cheers - Gavin
