I was not able to make BLAT working with bootstrap. I used smtpmail - utility included with networker 6.x.
See my post about mail notification: thread480-416800
I am using NW6.2 on W2K sp2

hi,

you can't print the bootstrap in one notification and send it in another notification with a mail program.

Just write a script which prints and mails the bootstrap, take your "test" notification and run the script with the notification.

I am having a similar problem. I have it setup to email the boostrap notification to a public mailbox which works fine. I then created a notification called "savegrp completion email" which is supposed to send but doesnt. I get an error saying "message refused by server" when I add the -log to BLAT. The only way I have gotten around this is to just have blat email the WHOLE savegrp.log file every day. This is inside of a firewall protected DMZ and mailing out of it to the public email area where I get this problem. Anything outside of the DMZ, both notifications work and email fine.

Create a profile first with your smpt server in it:

blat -install smtpserver -t myemail@host.com - - Profile
(the two dashes as the end are for default port and default tries -25 -ONCE) and the last word names the profile to Profile

Also....I copied blat.exe into the c:\winnt\system32 folder and the command I use for bootstrap is:

blat - -s "server's bootstrap" -p Profile -t myemail@host.com

I forgot about the initial setup. I included a text file on the server with the exact instructions I used for setting up Blat, which is what michaelw70 did. If you are getting a refused connection, make sure your mail server admin is allowing smtp connections.

Install instructions:

To set up or change the email parameters, open a command prompt and type

blat -install mailservername mailbaox name 3 25

This sets the mail server that will be used, the mailbox on the senders line, the number of retrys to attempt, and the port number on the mail server for the SMTP request.

within the nwadmin GUI, located in 'server notifications':
select bootstrap, in the action line enter the follwoing command:
blat - -s "BootStrap Notification" -t user@domain

this is provided under the assumption that blat has been installed and configured on the o/s.

make sure blat.exe is in the winnt\system32 dir
at a command prompt
blat -install name_of_smtp_server 'admin@legatoserver'

does anyone have a script they could post here to Print AND Email the bootstrap. This is more difficult because the information comes from a pipe. Windows 2k

Try to change the action for the bootstrap notification as follows:

nsrlog -f filename | print filename | email filename

 

[gupel]

REM Put std input to a file

nsrlog -f "C:\Program Files\nsr\logs\botstrap.txt"

REM Send the file
REM Next command is one line

type "C:\Program Files\nsr\logs\botstrap.txt"| smtpmail -s Bootstrap -h your-mail-server user@yourcompany.com

REM Print the file
REM Next command is one line

type "C:\Program Files\nsr\logs\botstrap.txt"| nsrlpr -Pyour-printer-name

REM Delete the file
REM Next command is one line

del "C:\Program Files\nsr\logs\botstrap.txt"
