EXEC in trapd.conf

["Francois Le Hir/Quebec/IBM" <flehir@ca.ibm.com>]

Hi,

I am using some EXEC command in /usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf in order to
execute a script when I receive a specific trap.
I use the following syntax:
EXEC /usr/script/trappopup keyword $1
unfortunately, in some cases, the $1 parameter contain some character (, <
or >.
when this appends the script doesn't get executed and I get an error in
/usr/OV/log/ovactiond.log.

I tried to use EXEC /usr/script/trappopup keyword "$1" but it doesn't
change anything.

I can not change the text of the message of the trap.
any idea ?
