I have a command file that prompts for the subject, message to send, and the
email address (in the example its an at&t cell phone).  I then place an xeq
command in my job streams at specific points.  If an error is detected then I
get paged on my cell phone.

Command file:
setvar mailfrom "hpmail@your_email_server_name"
setvar mailsmtphost "nnn.nn.nn.nnn"
echo
input subj,"what is the subject of this email? "
echo
input file_name,"enter the filename to send or a message here "
echo
input send_to,"enter the email address you are sending this to "
echo
setvar mailsubject "!subj"
run hpemail.util.sys; &
 info='-t !send_to !file_name'

In a job stream it looks like this:

 !ESP
  T SHIPMON
  F SHIPMENTS EDIT LISTING COMPLETED UNSUCCESSFULLY.
  QUIT
 !IF ESPULFINDCOUNT > 0
 ! SETVAR JTIME 'Msg TIME: !HPTIMEF: '
 ! HPEMAIL
   MON EDIT
   !JTIME MON EDIT HAS UNKNOWN ERRORS
   [log in to unmask]

I run espul and text in a file to search for the 'shipments edit listing
completed unsuccessfully'.  If the variable espulfindcound is greater than
zero  I set a variable call jtime to the current system time.  I then call the
'HPEMAIL' script  I include the info for each prompt on a seperate line and
hopefully within a few minutes I get paged.
