Savegroup Failure Email Notification - Message Delivered as .bin file

     While generating the email notification stream, input will also be collected from client side binaries. Sometimes there are possibilities that some special characters are added to the stream. Mail command can t process these special characters under text format and treats the same as binary content. Due to this, entire notification content will be sent as attachment with .bin extension.

     Example : CR or ^M characters presence in the savegrp report

I have found 2 workarounds:

1. Download and use dos2unix utility, which can convert text file line endings between CRLF and LF.  example

           /usr/bin/dos2unix | /bin/mail -s "Networker Backup Group Failures" EmailAddress

2.     follow the kb article's solution, as described in https://support.emc.com/kb/460153

     Modify the notification action as bellow.

          /nsr/notification.sh "Networker Server's savegroup '${NSR group}' failure" root

          You can change 'root' with any other email ID. Only one entry/email ID will be passed to script.

     Create the '/nsr/notification.sh' file on the Networker Server and copy the bellow content.

          #!/bin/bash

          tee |tr -d "\r" |mail -s "$1" $2

          Make sure file has executable permission.( chmod 777 notification.sh)

     Test the notification. We should get the notification without the attachment. Using this script we are parsing the special character "^M"

Hope this helps...   good luck.
