As it has been pointed out before somethings require double quotes ".
If that works, then this would be one of those cases.  All our regexes
are typically in double quotes.

point is that the $ should anchor the end of the string and it should
never match pandora. Right?

I am having a problem with alerts going to the
wrong people. I have a
line in hobbit-alerts.cfg:

HOST=%pan$ 

(this is just for demo and test purposes, I
know that particular entry
doesn't make a lot of sense ) The problem is
that this line is matching
with a host name "pandora". Is there any way
to stop this? 

Thanks,
Larry Barber
