scheduled backup

Danny Crisp — Thu, 27 Apr 2006 04:48:54 GMT

I have created a scheduled backup with SAM (HPUX 11.11). During the operation, it provides you with the opportunity to provide an email addr so that the backup results get mailed upon completion. Ive attempted to supply two email addrs but it throws an error. Anyone know if this is possible any other way.

It tells me that is doesnt reconize the email addr. I assume that its attempting to read the two email addrs as one. I.e. dcrisp gets execpted, dcrisp dcrisp2 does not.

Danny,
have you tried seperating the two addresses for example with semi-colon (;)

Yes. I tried a couple of combinations.

dcrisp;dcrisp2
dcrisp; dcrisp2

Still the same error occurs.

The specified user does not exist.

Have you previously setup sendmail and tested the ability to send/receive emails? There is no way for HP-UX to know about your email environment (open access, Exchange, Lotus, etc) without editing the sendmail.cf file.

Sendmail works fine.

SAM may be creating the error message because it doesn't look like a normal address. Try specifying a complete email address as in: dcrisp1@mycomputer

Danny,
have you tried creating a mail alias in /etc/aliases ?

Danny Crisp — Tue, 02 May 2006 10:17:28 GMT

Yes, i use the alias rather that the full email addr.
