Gary, You may also want to consider shell scripting. I've abandoned server side scripts in favour of the flexibility of Perl and ksh scripts. Just an option.

Gary - I wrestled with this when I created our *SM server housekeeping script, as I wanted to issue Unix commands to send email to the operators to act on certain tape volsers. I finally hit upon a solution using DEFine CLIENTAction, like: DEFine CLIENTAction OURNODE ACTion=Command - OBJects='mail -s "Some mail subject, huh?" [EMAIL PROTECTED] </dev/null >/dev/null' That's a trivial example just to send email with a subject and empty body. You can of course invoke any command. Richard Sims, BU
