Is there a way to retrieve an alert based on the ACKCODE?
[snip BB script that picks out hostname+service for an ack code]

I hope you don't mind my asking: Why ?
This way I can keep the delay script simple. I do not have to parse the
host.service info from the subject or body of the message. Plus with
skytel it looses the subject. So I just look for the [12345] code in the
email and just use that as a reference to pick up the host.service

Thanks
The only way you can get the ack-code is via an alert-message that
already includes the host+service name.

So I'd like to know what you're using this for, because I have a
suspicion that you're really trying to do something that ought to be
done in another way.


Regards,
Henrik
