Karen,
In the AIX world the command for the ‘exec’ action would be:
mail -s “%A” someone@somwhere.com < "%F"
You can use the %A and %F variables; these contain the actual alert message (%A), and the temporary file name (%F) that contains the text of the alert message. If the subject alone suffices for you, then you can use /dev/null instead of “%F” in the above command.
Hope this helps.
