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

[Richard_Beals@tax.state.oh.us]

When scripting your own client, it isn't enough to send a "status" 
message; you must also send a "page" message.

Try the exact same message, substituting the word "page" for "status" on 
the first line and see what happens.

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






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

The next most likely source is the particular script you are using.
With a client-side test, it is the responsibility of the script to
actually generate the paging message. In order to help further, you
will need to let the list know which script you are using.

Cheers, Phil.
