NAME

       fo_notify - Display upload job status.  Optionally send email.

SYNOPSIS

       fo_notify [-e email-address] [-h] [-j <job-name>] [-n user-name]  -u
       <upload-id>

DESCRIPTION

       fo_notify is a dual purpose command. The main purpose of fo_notify is
       to act as the email notification agent when email notificiation is
       turned on for a user account in the Graphical User Interface. The
       status is sent in email and is reported as aborted, failed, still
       active or done based on the job queue data-base entries for that
       upload.  The command can also be run as a cli to report the status of
       the upload or send email about it’s status.

       The command simply queues the email on the system.  The command assumes
       that email has been configured properly on the system.

   Options
       -e email-address
           Supply an optional email address to send the results to.  If this
           option is given, then no output to the terminal will be supplied.
           The results are queued in the mail subsystem using the specified
           address.  Minimal checking is done on the email address format,
           make sure it’s correct.

       -h  Standard help flag, prints usage.

       -j <job-name>
           Optional job name.  Using this option will change the name of the
           job in the message.  The job name supplied will be used instead of
           the name that was used for the upload at upload time.

       -n <user-name>
           Supply a different user name for the message.  This simply changes
           the name of the addressee in the message that is sent via email.
           If no email is being sent, this option has no effect. NOTE, this is
           not the email address.

           For example, if the user login is goofy, but the user wants to
           address the message to the real name of the person.  Using the
           above example, without -n <user-name> would mean that the message
           starts with Dear goofy, ..... using -n ’Mr. Natural’ would change
           the message to say Dear Mr. Natural,.....

       -u <upload-id>
           The upload id to report on.  Use fossjobs to find the upload id or
           the UI.

   Examples
       Display the job status for upload 99.

       fo_notify -u 99

       would report the status of upload 99.

       send email instead

       fo_notify -e me@somebody.com -u 99

       Would queue email to me@somebody.com with the results for upload 99.
