[nv-l] Formating traps in a script

[thierry.van-mol@vd.ch]

In a correlation rule, after a node
that selects a generic trap, I have an 
action node calling a script to some
alert things. My problem is the
following, I want in that script send
an email that will contain
some informations and the trap message
like it is formatted in the
event window. However, in the script
I get only, through environment
variables, the generic and specific
trap number. From, there, is there
a tool to get the trap message.

I had the idea to get the information
from the trapd.log file, by doing
a grep on the time and node sending
the trap. However, I noticed that
when my script is called by the action
node, the trapd.log file does
not yet contain the trap (and sometimes
yes; a race condition apparently).

Has someone an idea on how to achieve
this?
