I would like to do this via my mobile phone.. I have a touch pro wm 6.1.. would I just send a txt message to the server formatted as Henrik suggested? More info on this would be very helpful as I am on the road often and would love to be able to acknowledge an alert from my phone..

Are these tools already installed with the hobbit installation?

Do you have "--no-pin" on the CGI_ACK_OPTS setting in hobbitcgi.cfg ?
That would let them ack multiple alerts from one webpage.
so, is there any chance to do that,
remote ( with wget or curl .. maybe ..)
or per commandline on the hobbitserver ?
You can send an ack with the "bb" tool
bb IP.OF.HOBBIT.SERVER "hobbitdack 123 60 PSU replacement henrik"
would send an ack for the event with ID 123, valid for
60 minuter. The text for the ack is the remainder of the command.
But you need to know the ID for each event (it's included in
the alert e-mail).
There's also the hobbit-mailack utility, which lets them send
ack's via e-mail.
