hobbit-alerts question

So are you saying it should be HOST=%"^regex.*com$" or HOST="%^regex.*com$"  ?

As it has been pointed out before somethings require double quotes ".  If that works, then this would be one of those cases.  All our regexes are typically in double quotes.

        Hang on there! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the point is
        that the $ should anchor the end of the string and it should
        never match pandora. Right?

 I am having a problem with alerts going to the wrong
            people. I have a
 line in hobbit-alerts.cfg:

 HOST=%pan$

 (this is just for demo and test purposes, I know that
            particular entry
 doesn't make a lot of sense ) The problem is that this
            line is matching
 with a host name "pandora". Is there any way to stop this?
