Primus article emc14003816 will walk you through "How to trigger a specific event notification"

Unfortunately sending mail from an Isilon cluster directly is not so simple.  The sendmail configuration is stored in an internal database and our tools use internal Python APIs to send the e-mail properly.  This is not exposed directly to the CLI even though at the core we use sendmail.

Thank you all for the help. I was thinking is was going to take something out of the normal set up to get working.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for this script.

I have wrote a script and the output of that has been saved in text file.

We are using Onefs 8.0.0.4. I want to email the output.

I am trying by using this script, but i am not getting the email. Kindly help me in doing this.

Ajithfrank,

OneFS 8.x does not have mail/mailx/sendmail anymore. Try sendml.py script from here:

Google Groups

I take no credit for this script and I'm not sure who made it either.

It should be 64 lines long according to xcode.

Hello Phil,

Thank you very much for this script.

Actually i am new to python script. Kindly let me in this script what are fields i have modify with the actual values. (Ex: sender mail id, receptionist, whether i have to mention SMTP IP and port no...) Kindly provide these details.

Ajithfrank

It's similar to mailx linux syntax. SMTP has to be set on Isilon cluster. Check local node "/var/log/messages" for any messages.

# python sendml.py

Usage: sendml.py: [-f sender] -t recipient [ -t recipient ... ] [-s subject] [-b body] [-a attachment]

# python sendml.py  -t name@company.com -s "test0" -b "test1"

# tail /var/log/messages

...

sendml.py should be 64 lines only. What editor are you using?  I use vi.
