Re: {bb} Problem with sending email notification for specific trap

[pelmaillist <pelmaillists@lightbridge.com>]

Thanks Phil,

        

I am using
a perl script that connects to the big brother port and sends the
data.  Below is the code snippit (actually most of it).  
this works to update the web page correctly.

        

Does the
request to send the page not then get generated on the server
side?

        

thanks,

        

Paul
