Subject: Re: Sending alarm warnings via email and text

This is interesting ... I did not know this could be done from StreamDevice.

I have a Perl script that I run from the alarm handler which uses the CA
Perl module to get the relevant PV info that I want to send and a subroutine
to send the email/text message using the PV info and whatever message I want
to send with it.

Hi all,

I am interested in implementing alarm handler warnings via email and text. Is
this supported in EPICS framework? If so, can somebody point me to the
relevant information?

Thanks, Chanaka.



With StreamDevice, you can send emails. Not from the alarm handler, but from a
record. (Handle with care: SCAN=".1 second" may be a bad idea.)
All you need is access to a (not too suspicious) mail server from your IOC and a
little bit of knowledge about the sendmail protocol:

Terminator = CR LF;
ExtraInput = Ignore;
ReplyTimeout = 1000;

@mismatch { out "QUIT"; disconnect; }

mail_start {
connect 10000;
in "220";
out "HELO";
in "250";
out "MAIL FROM:\$1";
in "250";
out "RCPT TO:\$2";
in "250";
out "DATA";
in "354";
out "From: \$1";
out "To: \$2";
out "Subject: Report from \$1";
out "";
}

mail_end {
out ".";
in "250";
out "QUIT";
disconnect;
}

send {
mail_start;
out "Your problem is: %s";
mail_end;
}
