status log triggering the alert ACKCODEThe "cookie" that can be used to
acknowledge the alertRCPTThe recipient, from the SCRIPT entryBBHOSTNAME The
name of the host that the alert is aboutMACHIPThe IP-address of the host
that has a problemBBSVCNAMEThe name of the service that the alert is about
BBSVCNUMThe numeric code for the service. From SVCCODES
definition.BBHOSTSVCHOSTNAME.SERVICE
that the alert is about. BBHOSTSVCCOMMASAs BBHOSTSVC, but dots in the
hostname replaced with commasBBNUMERICA 22-digit number made by BBSVCNUM,
MACHIP and ACKCODE. RECOVEREDIs "1" if the service has recovered.DOWNSECSNumber
of seconds the service has been down. DOWNSECSMSGWhen recovered, holds the
text "Event duration : N" where N is the DOWNSECS value.
I tried this script with the below commands which didn't work, it didn't
return the variable values.

#!/bin/sh

echo $BBALPHAMSG

$xymoncmd script_name
$xymonlaunch script_name

Thanks

 BBCOLORLEVEL

If you run bbcmd on its own, it will set all of the variables for you and
run a sub-shell.  Try this:

$ /usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd
$ set | grep BB
$ set | grep XYMON
$ exit

The variables you listed all appear to be for an alert script.  These are
all set by the xymond_alert program, for scripts that it runs, and these
variables won't be defined outside of that context.

If you want to test an alert script, you might need to setup a dummy alert
in alerts.cfg.

So, do you mean to say that these variables which I listed are only
available during alerts ?
Can I echo these variables in any of my custom script?

eg. put "echo $BBALPHAMSG > some_file" in my custom script?

Only in an alert script.

I did echo this variable in one of my custom script on xymon client.
i.e. client/ext/myscript.sh

But I didn't get the value.

Is this the file you are talking about or any other alert script?

This should apply to any script named in an SCRIPT clause in alerts.cfg.
 But it only applies when the script is called by xymond_alert as a result
of an alert condition.

hmmm, i got the variables now. Thanks a lot
