The exit delivery method lets you set up automatic responses to system events
beyond just sending a message. When you set the delivery method for a given

program on your system. Whenever that event occurs, InfoPrint Manager runs the
script or program you specify.
For example, if the InfoPrint Manager server runs low on disk space, the
disk-space-low event generates a message for the system administrator. The
administrator then has to do something to clean up the disk so InfoPrint Manager
can continue to run effectively. However, using the
exit delivery method can
automate that process by launching a "disk clean up" script. The administrator can
still receive the message, but will know that the script is already working on the
