https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/v5-getting-environment-variables-passed-to-custom-command/m-p/3631871#M14964 I am using Tivoli's postemsg command to open TEC events for a SIM event. The following parameters passed work fine:<BR /><BR />-S server -r WARNING -m "Test" EVENT EVENT<BR /><BR />If I try to pass an environment variable it won't run:<BR /><BR />-S server -r WARNING -m "%USERNAME%" EVENT EVENT<BR /><BR />postemsg passes environment variables fine at a command prompt so what gives? I've confirmed all variables I need are passed in the environment by first testing the custom command by running set &gt; c:\env.txt. I did not need to specify any variables in the custom command config at all.<BR /><BR />Thanks--Drew<BR /><BR /> Wed, 21 Sep 2005 16:30:23 GMT Andrew Van Order 2005-09-21T16:30:23Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/v5-getting-environment-variables-passed-to-custom-command/m-p/3631871#M14964 I am using Tivoli's postemsg command to open TEC events for a SIM event.
