ASKER

From the alert message at the console pc and from the log.
But I need to have a mail if something happen in the weekend.
That why I am looking for a script, to read the alert, and send a mail.

Keep in mind that "hardware error" and "e-mail" can be mutually exclusive. E.g., if the failing component is a network adapter, it's going to be a challenge pushing e-mail out to the network.

LOL! Thanks Tom.  That is a really good point.   However, that is going to be a common thread in all scenarios regardless of a home grown API, third party app and even IBM ECS since that even uses the Internet now.  

To cover that, you need to have ECS dialing through a modem and maybe an app like CCSS notifying via pager.
