Backup Central

Everyone,
I have a need to generate a bootstrap report to a file and email as
well. I have tried several different suggestions without success.
In the final analysis, I generated a perl script that should handle
these, but I seem unable to call the script from the notification action
for the bootstrap email.
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
We are running V7.1.1 and the server is also a client. The bootstrap
does show up fine on the savegroup completion for the client. If I
configure the bootstrap email notification simply to make a file or to
send an email, this works ok, but want to do both.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Bob

Have you tried just making 2 notifications, one for each?

Darren,
Yep, tried it. Must be doing something wrong because I was only able to
get one or the other. I left the "bootstrap email" in place and created
another notification call "bootstrap file" with exactly the same
selections. Did I miss something?

You mean you were able to create the notification without error, but
only one of them was working?

Is this unix or windows?
How does the action appear in your attempt to launch the script?

Hi Darren,

It looks like my action field in the notification script is just not
working. It is firing up a perl script (yes we are on HP/UX).
The action field seems to me to be the problem.
/usr/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/cat | /opt/adm/scripts/Bootstrap_Notify'
Is this out of line? The perl script simply reads the input and outputs
it to a file and emails it to a list.

It might work, but I always worry about quotes and stuff in the action
field itself. Simply calling the script itself seems to be safer. I
can't remember when to escape the quotes.

Does something like this work?

Verify your perl script is executable.

#!/usr/bin/perl
open (OUT, ">/tmp/bootstrap");
print OUT <>;

action: /tmp/executable_perl_script

Assuming you get the data in /tmp/bootstrap, then it's just a matter of
refining what the script does.

Darren,
My message should have read, it is attempting to fire up the script.
I have not verified that it does so successfully. I'll give your
suggestions below a try.

Everyone,
Thanks for the many inputs that I received concerning my problem.
The problem turns out to be my own configuration. I was attempting to
add another notification (in addition to the default bootstrap
notification) that I called "bootstrap email". The notification was set
up exactly like the default but the action line pointed to a script that
would capture the input and generate a file (for archival purposes) as
well as send an email with the bootstrap report.
Legato informs me that we cannot do that. Only one bootstrap
notification can be set up. I deleted my "bootstrap email" notification
and modified the default "bootstrap" notification to point to my script.
This works. Too bad we cannot have more that one notification set up for
bootstrap.
Thanks again,
Bob

As your scripts collected the info to a file for archival purposes,
can't you just add a line to it and get it to mail you the file?
