MAIL
The
MAIL
command converts spool file data to text format and sends it via HPDesk to a specified
user. This command requires that HPDesk be installed and enabled on the system. A user must be
specified in order to send any messages. The
CI
variable
DESKUSER
must first be defined before the
MAIL
command can be used. The format of the variable is as follows:
username[;[password][;node/sublocation]]
An example
DESKUSER
can be defined as follows:
:SETVAR DESKUSER "JOHN DOE;SECRET;QUEST/02"
When the first
MAIL
command is issued, NBSpool will attempt to log on as this user. Assuming it is
successful, the message will be sent according to the specified parameters. NBSpool will remain
logged on until it is terminated.
