scheduled backup

[Danny Crisp]

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.

What does the error say?

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.

[Peter Godron]

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

[Danny Crisp]

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.

[Danny Crisp]

Sendmail works fine.

[Bill Hassell]

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

[Peter Godron]

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

[Danny Crisp]

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