Re: [nv-l] Question about xnmtrap

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

when you exit xnmtrap, the  FMTCHG event is supposed to be sent to trapd to tell him to re-read the file.  If for some reason that didn't happen or the trap was queued before he did, then that might explain it.  Issue "event -e FMTCHG"  now and see whether that solves your problem.

NetView 7.1.3  AIX 4.3.3

I am handing off some trap variables to a script using the Command for
Automatic Action section of xnmtrap. I decided that I didn't want messages
from one of the traps in a group so I removed what I had in the Command for
Automatic Action and hit apply and get out of xnmtrap. The action still
happened next time the trap came though though. I went back into xnmtrap and
there is nothing in that block. Is there something that I am missing to make
the changes apply?

Thanks,
