Is there a method of ack'ing alerts via the command line?
I know you can enable/disable an alert using the bb command. It kind of
seems silly to receive an sms and then have to convert it to an email to
perform the ack. It would be much better to bypass the email gateway and
pump the ack directly into hobbitd. Has anyone done this?
My check of the man pages and quick search of the mailing list archive did
not seem to indicate a way...

In the mailing list archives look for subject: [hobbit] Ack Alerts via
Email
and you'll find...
There's already a feature in Hobbit to accept ACKs via email:

Or did you mean something else??

Just thought I'd check back on this and surprised nobody had any thoughts
on it but also notice Henrik hasn't been around either.
Still have had no luck with this although I have not been able to spend
much time on it.
Still have the same problem of not being able to ack an alert via the
email body instead of the subject.

HI all
A LONG time ago I asked about ack'ing an alert via email (or via
sms-to-email) and to be able to do so without a subject. A patch was written
at the time and it was included into the main codebase but unfortunately I
did not get a chance to imeplement what I wanted to and never ended up
testing it. Thats has just changed recently and now I am having issues
acking an alert via text in the body.
If i reply to an email and maintain the subject it works fine, if I try
cut the subject and paste it as the body nothing happens. I havent gone as
far as testing it via the sms-to-email app yet as I cant get it working from
a normal email.
I still have one other potential problem of me converting the [] in the
alerts to () but thats more outbound sms and I can deal with it coming back
inwards.
Any suggestions appreciated
Allan
