Re: [hobbit] No Subject On Mail Alerts



mail on Solaris including Solaris 9, doesn't include the -s flag. Look at the man page, you would want to set MAIL to mailx:

MAIL=mailx

man mail
man mailx

The email alerts I get from my hobbit user have no subject line.


Well, mine do :-)


Yay! ;-)


What system is this on - Linux, Solaris, BSD or ... ?


SunOS zpnz-mtm-bb01 5.9 Generic_117172-05 i86pc i386 i86pc


What command is used to send mail on your system ?
What's the MAIL setting in your hobbitserver.cfg file ?


MAIL="mail"


Try this. Login as the hobbit user, cd to the server/ directory and
run this command:


$ ./bin/bbcmd --env=etc/hobbitserver.cfg hobbitd_alert --test

osiris.hswn.dk cpu

<SNIP>

The command that is used to send mail is shown in the line beginning
with "Mail alert with command" - it should include a subject, so if it
doesn't when the mail shows up in your mailbox, you may have to use a
different MAIL setting on your system.

I always thought that is how it was supposed to be and that the SMS or
shorter messages just made it smaller and had a subject.  Guess I should
have tried it.


Solaris the mail command does not accept -s but mailx does.  I changed it
in hobbitserver.cfg to mailx and everything works fine.

Thanks Henrik and Chris - I am indeed running Solaris 9 x86 and changing
the "MAIL=" directive in hobbitserver.cfg did the trick.  Any chance the
configure script can be updated to do this by default on Solaris?

Henrik - when I ran the test I got the following errors:

bash-3.00$ ./bin/bbcmd --env=etc/hobbitserver.cfg hobbitd_alert --test
zd2sv1 vmio
2005-02-07 09:31:17 Unknown option '--test'
2005-02-07 09:31:17 Unknown option 'zd2sv1'
2005-02-07 09:31:17 Unknown option 'vmio'

I am, however, still running B6 rather than RC1 as I didn't get any reply
about my conn/fping problems after I upgraded :-)  I'd link to the message
but the February archives don't seem to be up yet.  The subject was "Re:
[hobbit] Hobbit 4.0-RC1 available - conn errors" and it was sent 03/02/2005
04:24 GMT.

Thanks and regards,
Andy.
