ok I made the change to the file and instead of the blank line that I was getting I'm now getting:

Center Street Warsaw, IN 46580 (574) 371-8684 (574) 377-2829 (cell) [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Marcel Schulte [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 2:47 PM To: spectrum Cc: spectrum Subject: Re: [spectrum] Customizing SetScript for paging Hi Jon, list, there exist two different things for "Alarm Title". The attribute used by you is kind of dynamic. "Normally" this attribute is not set. If so OneClick uses the first line of the PCause file. It may be that the first line of that file also exists as attribute but I'm not at work so can't check it myself. The ALARMTITLE variable can be set in SetScript like this: *********** ALARMTITLE=`echo "$PCAUSE" | /usr/bin/head -1` *********** Take this and set your AlarmTitle variable as follows: *********** AlarmTitle=$SANM_0x12b4c [ -z "$AlarmTitle" ] && AlarmTitle=`echo "$PCAUSE" | /usr/bin/head -1` *********** The second line tests if value of variable AlarmTitle has zero length and if so set AlarmTitle to the first line of the PCause file. Hope this helps - feedback would be appreciated ;-) BTW: I asked about these alarm titles some time ago, search for 'Difference between columns "Alarm Type" and "Alarm Title"' over the list, this should yield all messages.
