17.12 Reservation triggers

Triggers attached to reservations follow the same basic rules and formats as attaching them to other objects; however, not all attribute options are valid for each object. Reservations, like the other objects, have a unique set of trigger rules. The table below details the methods, options, and other notable details that come with attaching triggers to reservations.

Command line on existing reservation: mschedctl - c	mschedctl -c trigger <trigSpec> -o rsv:<rsvID>	> mschedctl -c trigger EType=modify,AType=mail,Action="Reservation system.4 has been modified" -o rsv:system.4
