Customizing the Alerts mails sent my hobbit

I hacked up the smsplus script a little (to use a different subject  
line) and we use it here. It's a winner.

There's an example script on The Shire for sms pages:

Can any body help me; how to customize the hobbit alert mails so that

shows the IP of the server which we monitor instead of showing the
hostname in it.

Use a SCRIPT instead of MAIL command in hobbit-alerts.cfg, and create a
script which composes your mail with the information you want and sends
it off.

See the hobbit-alerts.cfg(5) man-page to get information about how you
extract the alert message, hostname, IP etc. to your script.
