resend: 2 questions

We know this. I don't think the question is why have 3 colors, others
have expressed desire for a third color, the question is how.

You could page on yellow at 80F and then again at red when the room comes to
100F...

Same with the ups, yellow is 30 minutes left on UPS, red is 5 minutes
left...
You wouldn't want to see any of these on anything other than green.

Yes you're right IT does hit the fan then.

I say the color should be brown, then...

Brown and orange are the same hue, just different intensities :-)

But I would also like a "hey it's really, really bad" notification.  We
page when there is 30 minutes left on a UPS.  I'd like to page again
when there is 5 minutes left (and it's not always 25 minutes later...)

Another instance is that we page when it is over 80 degrees F in a comm
room.  I'd like to page again when it gets to 100...

I know I could write additional tests and have columns for both upsmin
and upsfailimminent, but a third threshold would be easier to
maintain...

        Right. I think the concept is

        Level 1: "warning everyone, something bad could happen, or
        might not,
        may want to look"
                         - Yellow
        Level 2: "Hey look, it was just a warning before, but now,
        it's bad
        and service might
                     be interrupted unless you take action, this is
        your last
        chance buddy!"
                         - Red
        Level 3: "I've told you repeatedly, and now look whats
        happened! You've reached
                    super critical orange level! That means within
        minutes
        your service will be dead.
                    run for the hills, the sky is falling, the phone
        is about
        to ring non-stop"
                         - Orange

        i think 3 levels makes sense for some specific applications.
