Vynita,
as
you have realized you must quote each parameter otherwise the shell will split
for each space or tab character.
$A
is a device name or an IP address and could do without quotes, however I just
quote every parameter like :
EXEC
/home/u/automation/brprt "$1" "$2" "$3"
"$A" "$S" "$G"
Of
course this quoting is wrong in case some parameters do contain double quotes.
You
should not have this problem because ovactiond replaces many punctation
characters by _ .
If
that is a problem for you (e.g. interface name Serial1/2:3 becomes Serial1_2_3)
can configure ovactiond :
-
decide which characters you really want (ovactiond will add a \ before each as
\: \; etc)
-
add 2 lines to your /usr/OV/bin/netnmrc.pre file (adjust the contents of the
1st line of course)
AdditionalLegalTrapCharacters="/:;="
export
AdditionalLegalTrapCharacters
You
must restart the whole of NetView after modifying this file (ovstop, ovstop
nvsecd, /etc/netnmrc & )
A
final consequence is that your scripts must explicitely handle the \ characters
inserted by ovactiond.
Usually
"substitute every \ character by nothing". Write this is your
favorite scripting language. I use perl all the time.
Hope
this helps.
Philippe.

We are talking about passed parameters here, and
it is difficult to
answer
a question like this without a specific example.
But for example, if you had a script called
"mytest" and you wanted to
pass
it varbind 1, varbind 2, the enterprise oid,
and the agent address, in
that order, you would do so like this:
<full_path>mytest $1 $2
$e $A
but inside your script these parameters would be
referenced in order as
$1, $2, $3, and $4. They are not exported as
ruleset variables are.
Whether you use the agent address ($A) or the
NetView attribute $2,
which
always contains the hostname, depends upon whether
you are dealing with
a
NetView trapd on a non-NetView trap. Only
NetView traps have the
hostname
in the second varbind.

Please
respond to
nv-l
Hi all
Running 7.1.4 fp3 on solaris 2.8
I can only get Automatic actions to pass me what
is in the string via $1
$2
$3, if I reference $e I get nothing?
I need the ip address or hostname of the source of
the event how do I
reference it?
Any ideas
Thanks
