Guys I want to email a chart, I have written this script in client event script. It works but I get multiple copies of the email, more than the 2 clients that are open. How can I limit it to one email please?  
thx Dennis

[i]if newValue.value == 1:  
def chart():

```
	import system	

	system.nav.openWindow("Main Windows/Processing/Pulp_Trend_Email")
	def email():
		from javax.imageio import ImageIO
  		from java.io import ByteArrayOutputStream
		window = system.gui.getWindow("Main Windows/Processing/Pulp_Trend_Email")
		image = window.rootContainer.getComponent("Easy Chart")
		bufferedImg = system.print.createImage(image)
		baos = ByteArrayOutputStream()
		ImageIO.write(bufferedImg, "PNG", baos)
		fileData = baos.toByteArray()
		fileName = "history.png"

		smtp = "XYZ.local"
		sender = "SCADA@XYZ"
		subject = "Pulp Trend"
		body = "Chart email."
		recipients = ["person@XYZ"]
		system.net.sendEmail(smtp, sender, subject, body, 0, recipients, [fileName], [fileData])
		system.nav.closeWindow("Main Windows/Processing/Pulp_Trend_Email")
	system.util.invokeLater(email,4000)
chart()

```

Can you repost your code in a code block so that we can see where the indents are?

Also what is triggering the event script?

Here’s how it was submitted…

[code]if newValue.value == 1:  
def chart():

```
	import system	

	system.nav.openWindow("Main Windows/Processing/Pulp_Trend_Email")
	def email():
		from javax.imageio import ImageIO
  		from java.io import ByteArrayOutputStream
		window = system.gui.getWindow("Main Windows/Processing/Pulp_Trend_Email")
		image = window.rootContainer.getComponent("Easy Chart")
		bufferedImg = system.print.createImage(image)
		baos = ByteArrayOutputStream()
		ImageIO.write(bufferedImg, "PNG", baos)
		fileData = baos.toByteArray()
		fileName = "history.png"

		smtp = "XYZ.local"
		sender = "SCADA@XYZ"
		subject = "Pulp Trend"
		body = "Chart email."
		recipients = ["person@XYZ"]
		system.net.sendEmail(smtp, sender, subject, body, 0, recipients, [fileName], [fileData])
		system.nav.closeWindow("Main Windows/Processing/Pulp_Trend_Email")
	system.util.invokeLater(email,4000)

What happens if you run it in the script editor? Do you get more than one email?

are you running this on a specific client? if so use either the hostname of the machine or ip address in the script so that the email is only sent from that specific machine.
