Hi,

I'm not sure the email to event script is the most suitable solution; I think what you want to be done can be accomplished by other means.

But it would be good to understand *what* you want to accomplish. If you can give a bit more insight on your objective we can for sure point out how to get there.

nb: the aliases file is part of your mail server and is used to translate names ("firstname.lastname" to user accounts on your unix system ("fn")). you can use it as well to forward email to a program.

OpenNMS isn't going to respond directly to email - you have to configure your
email system to pipe the email to a program during delivery - and that program
can use send-event.pl to generate an event.

Cool idea.  I would setup a command as a mail alias... of course, this would not work if you were running M$ Exchange... at least not in this manner.

However, it wouldn't be difficult to make this happen in OpenNMS but what would probably be more interesting would be to find an ESB that supports reading email and a write an ESB adapter that converts the email to an OpenNMS Event either with the Java API or through the same TCP XML event proxy that send-event.pl uses.

I don't know anything about james - it looks like you'd have to write some java
code to make it do anything special.   If you use sendmail or another mailer
that does local delivery using procmail you could just create a user to receive
the mail and a .procmailrc file with the command to dispatch - probably a shell
or perl script to parse it and execute send-event.pl with appropriate options.

When I was a young lad, back in the day, (insert appropriate old man saying here), I used to use command mail aliases in the sendmail alias file.  So, an email to: [hidden email] would have an alias:

opennms: "| /opt/opennms/bin/my-send-event.sh"

Something like that where my-send-event.sh would parse the piped email text message properly into send-event.pl

These days, most distributions with sendmail would, by default, strip the path
from your command and try to execute it from /etc/smrsh so you need a symlink
there - and it runs under a somewhat restricted shell.  It would still work, but
  a dummy user with procmail gives you a nicer place to park the associated
scripts and keep log files.

Ashley, most people here will be ready to help with postfix, sendmail and the like. Not sure anybody ever tried James.
The thing to look for is:

How to forward a mail received into a shell script? The mail received needs to be piped into a script.

I saw some beanshell examples on the James wiki but not "the solution".

if i type the following commands in the terminal directly

/usr/local/OpenNMS/contrib/emailtoevent.pl -s opennms1.mycompany.com\,opennms2.mycompany.com -u
uei.opennms.org/vendor/mycompany/events/infrastructureMajor -i 192.168.1.1


dose it trigger an event in OpenNMS?

i tried but failed , perl stop without any reflection there...

Is there anything I should change in the file emailtoevent.pl ? this file is copied from document in the opennms.org website.

If it isn't doing anything at all, you probably need to change the path to perl
in the top line to match where your copy of perl is installed.  It might help if
you told us the OS platform where you are trying to install this.  And you need
to change the path for $errorlog to a location that exists and is writable.
After that you should see something in the $errorlog file after the run - or for
testing you could comment out the 'open STDERR, ">>$errorlog";' line so you'll
see errors on the console.
