Does the outpput from the tell command show in log.nsf?  If so issue the command and then parse the last few docs of log.nsf for the results.

I have tried the program document route. The output is written to NTSactivity* log file, which is huge and difficult to parse. 

I Created a event monitor to read the text "The overall status of IBM Notes Traveler is", But it does not work. Even the 'Tell Traveler status' event monitor will not return the result of the command.

If I can get this to work by an agent(allows me to parse and format and email), then my next step is "Tell Traveler stat show' and "Tell Traveler Memory" . 

Now I am looking at the option of using console log and see if that helps

I have a Windows scheduled task that runs a PowerShell script that can get the status or backup Traveler.  Send the command to the server with nserver -c.  Get the output from the console log with Get-Content and then send the email with Send-MailMessage. 

You should be able to redirect the command output to a text file, then send that via email:

tell traveler -f /apps/notesdata/travstatus.txt status
