First: Can you run scripts on that server? Can you email from that server? Have you tested this?

Second: Does this file always have the same name?

Third: How is the script started? From cron or from the command-line or from another process?

and if the file is generated
Fourth: Do you mean if the file exists? Is it possible the file can exist but be empty? If it is empty, does that mean generation failed?

send email notifications to certain group of ppl
Can you set up a mail alias or mail list? Then the script only needs to specify one recipient.

and if it is not generated send a mail wid error msg..

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
