Hi,

it doesn't work isn't really helpful.
What did you try to accomplish and what did not work including any error messages.
Check mail.log for error messages.

greetings,

Michael

many thanks for your fast reply,

there isnt output from the following script,
#!/bin/sh
string=`evmshow -t 'EVM alert [@host_name]: @@'`
(echo Subject: $string
echo $string
) | mail mmm@fff.com
I try,
#evmshow -t "EVM alert [@host_name]: @@"
no output from this command,
please advise.

Hi,

your evmshow waits for your input.
Use evmwatch -t "EVM alert [@host_name]: @@"
instead.

Hi Michael,
many thanks to you,
I try ,
#evmwatch -t "EVM alert [@host_name]: @@"
it dosnt display any result,
please advise.

[Michael Schulte zur Sur · Accepted solution]

It does not show any results because it waits for new ones. Try
logger -i -p kern.alert "test only"
This will show up in the parallely running evmwatch.
If you want to scan a time period then use evmget with a filter.

greetings,

Hi,

did you configure /etc/evmlogger.conf as suggested and executed evmreload -l
?
