which contains the trigger text and a defined number of displayed lines before
and after this text, to determine if this event is one of which a user needs to be
notified. These subevents are:
~E~ FAN. FAIL - POWEROFF IN 30 SECONDS
~E~ LM80. TEMP FAIL
~E~ PS. POK DEASSERTED
MAIL.PL then formats a mail addressee, subject and message body from this
information, and contacts (through a TCP/IP socket, port 25) an SMTP (Simple
Mail Transport Protocol) server and sends this mail message.
It is assumed that a gateway exists at the user site that will forward this mail
message to the mail system used at the installation site, similar to the way mail
is received from the Internet. This script cannot send mail to non TCP/IP
SMTP mail servers, such as Lotus Notes, Mail-11 (VAXmail) or X.400 without
such a gateway.
This script does not acknowledge the event to the ConsoleWorks subsystem.
D.2.1 Loading and Configuration
MAIL.BAT and MAIL.PL are copied to the event directory,
C:\Cwks\Actions\Event.
Edit MAIL.PL to change the value of the variable $remote to point to the site’s
SMTP mail server. Reference the following comment and modify the next line:
# This is site specific
$remote = "post-office.domain.com";
D.2.2 Contents
The content of the MAIL.PL file is included in Section D.5.
D.3 Verification and Testing
The following procedures can be used to ensure that the setup was performed
properly and that alerts from the GS80/160/320 system do in fact notify the
designated persons. Three methods are provided to be used as appropriate.
Method 1 – Complete End-to-End Verification
This method uses the console line echo to drive the events as they would
normally be encountered.
