Actually.. I think I've narrowed it down to this in the hobbitlaunch.cfg file

        ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

When it's parsing that it gives the error for the MAILC option.  The server itself seems to send out emails fine with the syntax on alerts.

I'm trying to use the -r option in "nail" to change the from address headers.  It works fine if I just have an email address, however if I use the (Name) nomenclature the hobbitd bombs with this error:

/usr/local/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg: line 97: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/local/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg: line 97: `MAILC="/usr/bin/nail -r "user-4b9489cbb9ab@xymon.invalid (Xymon)""        

Env is this:
MAILC="/usr/bin/nail -r "user-4b9489cbb9ab@xymon.invalid (Xymon)""        
MAIL="$MAILC -s"

From the command line this works fine as well:

/usr/bin/nail -r "user-4b9489cbb9ab@xymon.invalid (Xymon)" user-fd45172e7876@xymon.invalid


Is there something in Xymon that is interpreting the parenthesis?  I've even tried to escape them with \ to no avail.

Thx,
Tom
