Sending email via Server Administrator
Hi All,
Currently using Dell Open Manage Server Administrator 1.7 on my PE2600. I'd like to email alerts to my group, however I see that is not a built-in option.
I lieu of a built-in emailer, I'm trying to get a batch-file put together to use BLAT to send an email. I can get the batch file working fine when I click on it or run it from a CLI, but it just won't run when placed in the "Execute Application" field. Have tried various methods of defining the path, but no joy so far.
Example: the batch file is called mail.bat and is located in c:\blat along with the necessary files for Blat. I enter c:\blat\mail.bat in the "Absolute Path to the Application" field, but no joy. I set it up on the Chassis Intrusion trigger, so I can just pull the door open and test it. I also configured Beep Speaker and Display Alert Message on the server, so I know exactly when the alert triggers. Both of those work, but no BLAT. :-(
Any advice?
Thanks!
Jim

Jim,
have you already tried to use cmd.exe /c mail.bat or command.com /c mail.bat to run the batch file? If this will not work you can also try cmd.exe /c "start mail.bat".

Thanks Per, I had totally forgotten about cmd.exe /c - something in the back of my brain was flickering...but I just couldn't recall the command!
I shall give it a try on Monday and will let you know how it goes.
Thanks!
Jim
