acks through email

Ok, I eliminated the shell script and attempted to ack the alert via
command line. I entered the following:

./bb 10.3.2.229 "hobbitdack 378435 30 blah"

No errors. Nothing in the acklog. Any help is appreciated.

Ok, no more error messages. Now when I reply to an alert, the message
gets sent and processed (it's no longer in /var/spool/mail/hobbit) and
that's. No indication that the alert has been acknowledged and the
hobbit logs are empty (well not empty, but they don't have any
messages corresponding to the issue). Any pointers greatly
appreciated.

I would recommend to put this at the beginning of your script

[ -f /export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg ] || exit 99
. /export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

And get rid of this

if [ -d "$BBHOME" ]
then
        . $BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh

And the corresponding "else" and "fi"

Thanks

Does hobbit support acks through email? Thanks

I am using it. You should be able to use the same shell script that was
in Bigbrother.

The only thing different is the following line in shell script

Bigbrother: $BB $BBPAGE "ack ack_event ${ACKCODE} ${DELAY} ${MESSAGE}"

Hobbit: $BB $BBPAGE "hobbitdack ${ACKCODE} ${DELAY} ${MESSAGE}"

Actually, it should work even without this change. The "ack ack_event"
command is recognized by hobbitd. I didn't see any reason why I should
break existing scripts, when it was so simple to just make it work.

Regards,
Henrik
