Call me crazy if you like, but in the alerts.cfg file, in the list of
environment variables passed to the script, it says:

     #    BBCOLORLEVEL  - The color of the alert: "red", "yellow" or
"purple"
     ... [snip] ...
     #    RECOVERED     - Is "1" if the service has recovered.

So, um, just check $RECOVERED ??

     if [ $RECOVERED -eq 1 ]; then
          # send recovery email
     fi

I suspect $BBCOLORLEVEL is set to the color of the original condition.

According to the man page for alerts.cfg, if the word &COLOR& is in the
recipient parameter, it is replaced by the colour of the alert. This might
give the updated colour after the alert recovered, instead of the alert
colour.

Or, you can use something like this:

NEWCOL=`$XYMON $XYMSRV "xymondboard host=$BBHOSTNAME test=$BBSVCNAME
fields=color"`

Cheers

I know this is old, but it's still an issue.  I have a script that uses
$BBCOLORLEVEL that works great, except the RECOVERED messages come in as
Red.  They don't say 'Recovered', they say 'Red'.  I'm not much of a
coder, but is there perhaps some way to have my bash script figure out
if the message is a 'recovered' message and print that as the
BBCOLORLEVEL instead of printing Red?
