Of course that works much better.

Thanks.

I have email macros configured thusly:

This is wrong. You're trying to use regular expressions for mail
addresses - that has never been possible. Reg. expressions are for
matching hostnames, testnames and such - not for mail adresses.

$pg-rich=user-cf452ff334e0@xymon.invalid
$pg-tom=user-30873c35cd66@xymon.invalid user-c636915e0afe@xymon.invalid

will do what you want.

HOST=%(vse*|vm*) DURATION>5m
       MAIL $pg-tom
       MAIL $pg-rich

So if any test on a host beginning with vse or vm fails, both Tom and Rich will get a page after 5 minutes.

When I test the process, I get the following:

hobbit at hobbit1:~/server/bin> ./bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test vm2 conn
2005-05-31 14:00:10 Using default environment file /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

00002400 2005-05-31 14:00:10 Failed 'HOST=%(vse*|vm*) DURATION>5m' (min. duration 0<300)

You need to pass a duration value to the --test option, otherwise it
runs the test matching assuming the alert has just triggered (so the
duration is 0 seconds, which is less than your setting of 5 minutes).
Try
   ./bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test vm2 conn 500

(the "500" is seconds).
