Vision Works Controller Classic T&D: How can I change the “From” portion of the failover email message from the host?

Environment/Versions
VW Controller T&D all versions that have failover enabled.
 
Answer
When the failover feature is triggered, an email is sent out to the users specified in the:
 
FAILOVER_EMAIL_LIST
 
in the metroservices.props file.
 
The email that is sent out has a FROM and a SUBJECT field.   Both of these fields are configurable in the $METRO/scripts/FailoverUtils.py script.   See below.
  
FROM = "smartsys@spirent.com"
SUBJECT = "Failover Message!"


Modify the FROM or SUBJECT fields as required.  No stopping or starting of the processes is required for this to take effect.
