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. Regards, Henrik

I hacked up the smsplus script a little (to use a different subject line) and we use it here. It's a winner. -- --Ben Benjamin P. August System Administrator - VPUE Stanford University Quoting Galen Johnson <user-87f955643e3d@xymon.invalid>:

Thanks for the great help. But I now when I get the alerts it displays some thing like this in the body of the message. "red <!-- [flags:ordastLe] --> Wed Mar 26 05:51:19 2008 smtp NOT ok" I have marked the same in red can I know what I am missing due to which I am getting junk. Please help in the same. Another question is that when I include the variable MACHIP in my script to display the same in the subject it shows the IP address with out any dots in between. For example 2.100.221.12 it displays as 002100221012,can any help in trouble shooting this also. Waiting for some body to reply.
