Try using below command syntax,

smtpmail -h -s " " -a

Use switch -a and log file name.

See if it helps.

I used the –a “ networker directory\log”, but it just hangs, ran it from the command line, got the following;

0 1399468096 2 0 0 11156 9660 0 “server name removed” smtpmail NSR warning 2 %s 1 0 61 protocol failure; got 501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax

First, why would you render log and then have it emailed to yourself?  That's silly.  One of the days log will be big and you will keep sending it to yourself.  If you wish to read the log then read it when necessary.  If you wish to receive proactive log output then grep out all normal messages and pay attention to whatever is left.  But rendering whole log is plain silly. Period.

With that said, take a look again to what you are doing above.  With mminfo you are sending its standard output as input to smptmail.  Is this what you do with nsr_render_log?  No, because its output you already redirected to local file so there is nothing to be passed to smtpmail. And given that you are Windows users, you may wish to explore possibilities with blat which once upon the time used to be more used than smtpmail.

Sorry maybe I didn’t explain myself correctly, I am not emailing it to myself, but to a group email box and would only be emailing certain messages within the log.

As I can render it any at time and analysis the log myself. The issue I seem to have is the emailing part, I can render the log locally.

But I am unable to send the contents (even if it’s just a  couple of lines), or even sent as an attachment using –a “log filer name”

The mminfo  command was an example to show that the smtpmail command works fine “smtpmail -s "Testing email notification" -h "Testing email notification" "email account"

To be clearer; how would I send the contents of a rendered log file (a small amount of messages!!) via a script using the above smtpmail commands?

type | smtpmail....

In your attempt you have actually redirects the output to a file and then piping it to smptmail. This means your are trying to send null. What you should doing is this -> nsr_render_log daemon.raw | smtpmail -s "Testing email notification" -h "mail server address" "email account"

I thought type command outputs to contents to the screen.

Why when with pipe you feel smtpmail - this is how any notification with NW works in the first place.  If you look closely at original post it is clear that OP doesn't get anything due to redirecting output to a file thus whole line after that doesn't make sense any longer.

Sorry typo, there, that is correct, I should of put; nsr_render_log ..\logs\daemon.raw |smtpmail -s "Testing email notification" -h "mail server address" "email account"

Like I said previously it just doesn’t output the email, put when I run it from cmd I get the following;

0 1399468096 2 0 0 11156 9660 0 “server name removed” smtpmail NSR warning 2 %s 1 0 61 protocol failure; got 501 5.1.3 Bad recipient address syntax

I’m not sure if there are different flavors of smtpmail.exe but the following link documents one showing exact syntax required for various scenarios including attaching of a file.

Here’s a sample of how to insert a files (email.tmp) contents into the body of an email using mailx, granted this is not smtpmail.exe but perhaps it would behave similarly.

mailx -s "my subject line" destination-addrs < email.tmp

Adam, mailx is UNIX standard - here we are talking about Windows and utility shipped with NetWorker.

It reads content from file and sends it to standard output which you pipe and feed into smtpmail - same as you would do with nsr_render_log command.  As you filter the things out first, I assume you read content from filtered file.

Thanks Adam I ran; smtpmail -s "Testing email notification" -h "Testing email notification" "email account" < "Networker directory\daemon.log"

And it email the contents of the log file to my group mail box!!
