i'm interesting anyway ... :-)

Ok, i've to read again the manual first .. :-(

XYMON MESSAGE SYNTAX

disable HOSTNAME.TESTNAME DURATION <additional text>
   Disables a specific test for DURATION minutes. This will cause the status 
of this test to be listed as "blue" on the BBDISPLAY server, and no alerts 
for this host/test will be generated. If DURATION is given as a number 
followed by s/m/h/d, it is interpreted as being in seconds/minutes/hours/days 
respectively. Todisablealltestsforahost,useanasterisk*forTESTNAME.

Right ?

I will try it .. sorry

cheers,

  Hi !

  I've got an problem with my colleagues and the alert-storm
  if a hole batchfarm will be rebooted for kernel-upgrade etc.
    .. and the person, who did it, doesn't deactivate them or make an
  Acknowledge-Downtime, don't ask me why ... he hate web-guis, want to 
  make
  only one command on the console ...

  I know, i asked something similiar before

  Re: [hobbit] remote/commandline Acknowledge Alerts

  IMHO, planned changes should be preceded by disabling the tests that 
  would
  be
  affected,

 Yep,  you're right of course ..

  which can easily be done with a command-line ...

 But how i know early the alert-id for the host/service e.g. cpu & conn for
 host1,host2 ?

 NAME
        bb-ack.cgi - Hobbit CGI script to acknowledge alerts


       bb-ack.cgi is passed a QUERY_STRING environment variable with the
 ACTION, NUMBER, DELAY and MESSAGE parameters.


       NUMBER is the number identifying the host/service to be
 acknowledged. It is included in all alert-messages sent out by Hobbit.

 Or did i something missing ?

 cheers,
