This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand
this format, some or all of this message may not be legible.

Thanks for the response. I like to know where i am doing mistake in
rulesets. My query is as follows.
1. I need to control on "Down" and "UP" trap msgs. Like agent is sending
"Down" trap and "up" trap every minute and correspondingly i am getting mail
also. instead of that for 5 "Down" and "up" msgs in 10 mts time i should get
one "Down" msg and coreesponding "Up" msg. So how do i do it?

I am not sure where i am making mistake on this rule.? could you pls help?

Thanks,
Santosh

You are using "echo" here which will not work because the daemon,
actionsvr, who executed your action does not have a display.  If you look
at the nvaction.alog and blog where such errors would be written then you
will undoubtedly some error messages there.  You need to use a utility such
as ovxecho, which will pop a window up on a display, that is not owned by
the process running the command.
There is documentation on using ovxecho, including a man page and examples
in the book.  You need to specify the display you want the window to be put
up on, either by setting the DISPLAY environment variable in a script which
calls ovxecho or by using the -d operand
     /usr/OV/bin/ovxecho -d  mybox.mydomain:0.0    <message text>
