Mail alert?  There is no such built-in function.
Are you asking how to configure it so that when you get a particular trap,
the mail command sends mail to someone?
In that case you would use xnmtrap to configure the trap settings and put
something like this in the command for automatic action:


echo $A $3 | mailx -s "mailsubject" username AT xxx DOT com

mailsubject = whatever you want the subject of the message to be
the hostname is $A and text message from a NetView trap is $3
See the man page for trapd.conf for more details.
Of course you cold use a script to make this as elaborate as you care to
And this only works if the user has an internet id that you can
send the message to.

Hi,

I had installed Netview Ver. 6.0 on AIX ver. 4.3.3 box and trying to
configure the mail alert. Which files need to looked in to for configuring
the mail delivery, and what changes are required to do on this.
