NAME
     notifier - Reformatter for Code Manager mail notifications

SYNOPSIS
     notifier

DESCRIPTION
     The notifier command is a filter for the mail messages  sent
     by  Teamware  when  users have modified a workspace with the
     putback,  bringover,  or  workspace  commands.   Instead  of
     receiving a normal Teamware message with the subject:

          Code Manager notification

     the notifier produces a message with a subject line contain-
     ing useful information, such as:

          CodeMgr:putback-to:comet: Fix mail notification alias.

     The format of the subject line is split into four fields:

          The string CodeMgr.

          The  action  taken  (e.g.   putback-to,   bringover-to,
          rename)

          The workspace name (short form)

          The first 60 characters of the first line of  the  com-
          ment entered by the person performing the action.

     The actual text of the mail message is unchanged  by  notif-
     ier,  only  the  subject  line is modified.  This allows for
     effective use of e-mail filtering programs, and creation  of
     useful  hypertext archives of the notification mail, both of
     which are greatly impeded by all messages  having  the  same
     subject line.

     In order to use notifier, perform the following steps:

          Install the script somewhere on a server's  filesystem,
          e.g. /opt/teamware/notifier

          Create a file called notify in the base directory of  a
          workspace.   The  file should contain a comma-separated
          list of mail addresses to which the  notification  mail
          is sent.

          Create a mail  alias  entry  in  /etc/aliases  on  that
          server which runs the notifier script, e.g.

NOTIFIER(1)               User Commands               NOTIFIER(1)



     notifier: |/opt/teamware/notifier

          Run the newaliases command on the server to install the
          new notifier alias.

          Modify  the  workspace's  Teamware  notification  file,
          Codemgr_wsdata/notification  to  point  to the notifier
          alias, e.g.

     notifier@server bringover-to putback-to undo

     All further notification mail for this workspace  will  then
     be routed through the notifier which will re-format and for-
     ward it.  For  each  additional  workspace,  you  need  only
     create  the  notify and edit the Codemgr_wsdata/notification
     files, assuming that the notification server can access  the
     workspace through either a local or network file system.
