Why don't you use a template with the "program" destination? destination traps { program("/usr/local/sbin/sendtrap.sh" template('$HOST' '$FACILITY' '$PRIORITY' ... '$MSG'); } You just have to parse the command line arguments properly. On Tuesday, September 23, 2003, at 03:57 AM, MGruber@metzler.com wrote:

Hi!

I am trying to send an snmptrap if a critical or error-Message occures. I found some scripts in the net which told me to use

destination traps {program("/usr/local/sbin/sendtrap.sh"); }; with following script #!/bin/sh while read line; do snmptrap .... done

It has the problem that I can not manipulate the snmptrap statement, I tried further:

destination d_send_trap { pipe("/tmp/snmptrap.pipe" template("snmptrap ..... '$HOST' '$FACILITY' '$PRIORITY' ... '$MSG'\n") template-escape(yes));

now I have the trouble how I get the statement from the pipe into execution.

Does anyone have something in this kind working ?

Thanks in advance Matthias Gruber
