Hi all
I did not know about what ovactiond did with special characters however
Philippe M put me right he said:
ovactiond is changing your strings. For security reasons, IBM / Tivoli
have decided that automatic actions should
not contain special characters such as ; : [ ( etc and be replaced by _
characters, unless explicitly configured.
If you really need parameter strings containing say ( and ) characters,
you must add the following to /usr/OV/bin/netnmrc.pre
My problem has now been resolved. Thanks everyone
Thanks

Not sure I follow all this, but automatic action scripts are run by
ovactiond and he has a log you could look at. If you put tracing in
your
script (set -x) it will echo to ovactiond.log.
You do know about AdditionalLegalTrapCharacters, right? Because of past
CERT advisories, ovactiond and actionsvr will replace every special
character not listed in the AdditionalLegalTrapCharacters environment
variable with underscores. This had been true since version 6.0.3.
You can set AdditionalLegalTrapCharacters in netnmrc.pre or
NVenvironment,
and restart all the daemons, including nvsecd

[nv-l] automatic action is acting
strangely

Please respond to
nv-l
Hi All
I am using netview for Unix 7.1.4 fp03 on solaris 2.9
With xnmtrap I have configured command for automatic action as follows
sh -x /home/test/remfin "$A $5 C $2 $3" >> test.out
What I wanted to do was remove all brackets and quotes in the string and
replace them with nothing or blank.
It is executing remfin because I tail test.out
remfin looks like ths
#!/bin/ksh
Str1=$1
echo $Str1 ......
change string and the I do another snmptrap ( and here I see the _23.5_
etc
in the trapd.log )
In test.out the string that is been given to me has already been
modified
by something removing the brackets and quotes with a _ but not by
remfin.
I have removed all sed statement in remfin.
What is changing my string??
If I remove remfin via xnmtrap then nothing happens which implies that
it
is being trigged by the correct oid
Please help I am going nuts.
Thanks
Vynita
