Hi,

So I was defining an alert, when I tried to do this:

HOST=$GROUP1,$GROUP2 EXHOSTS=$SUBGROUP1,$SUBGROUP2	

I don't know how hard this would be to fit in, but it could be useful.

If your macros are not regular expressions, then it should just work.

If they are regular expressions, I suppose it would work if you
kept the "%" sign out of the expression, and did this:

HOST=%$GROUP1|$GROUP2 EXHOSTS=$SUBGROUP1|$SUBGROUP2

That's what I was hoping, but it doesn't seem to be.  I modified that shell script to create comma seperated lists of hosts.

So I have $GROUP1=host1,host2 and $GROUP2=host3,host4

And when I try to do HOST=$GROUP1,$GROUP2 and run  ../bin/bbcmd --env=hobbitserver.cfg hobbitd_alert --dump-config:

HOST=

Just blank.

Ah, I think I know what's happening. At line 208 of hobbitd/do_alert.c:
 
               n = strcspn(p, " \t");
Should be
               n = strcspn(p, "\t $.,|%!()[]{}+?/&@:;*");

Almost.  Now the --dump-config shows the macro expanded for the first group, but not the second.

For example, HOST=$group1,$group2 shows as HOST=group1member1,group1member2
