I am using it. You should be able to use the same shell script that was
in Bigbrother.

The only thing different is the following line in shell script

Bigbrother: $BB $BBPAGE "ack ack_event ${ACKCODE} ${DELAY} ${MESSAGE}"

Hobbit: $BB $BBPAGE "hobbitdack ${ACKCODE} ${DELAY} ${MESSAGE}"

Enjoy

Sweet thank you. I looked at the bb-mailack.sh but my shell scripting
knowledge is still a work in progess.

Two small things I forgot to mention

I added this at the beginning of the script

[ -f /export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg ] || exit 99
. /export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg


Also I removed all references to BBDISPLAY. BBPAGE is what all I needed
anyway. If you want to use BBDISPLAY you need to define it to the right
IP address, either inside your script OR hobbitserver.cfg file.

Actually, it should work even without this change. The "ack ack_event"
command is recognized by hobbitd. I didn't see any reason why I should
break existing scripts, when it was so simple to just make it work.

Ok, no more error messages. Now when I reply to an alert, the message
gets sent and processed (it's no longer in /var/spool/mail/hobbit) and
that's. No indication that the alert has been acknowledged and the
hobbit logs are empty (well not empty, but they don't have any
messages corresponding to the issue). Any pointers greatly

!BB - 2827410! prodsqlclstr1.prod.smartbargains.com.sql-server - 
999010100001240

Where in hobbit without bb the subject line format is: 

BB [770509] vicious.smartbargains.com:ftp is RED

Is there a way to modify the subject line format in hobbit to match bb

It shouldn't matter. bb-mailack does some processing to filter out the
"fluff" in a mail message, and picks up all of the data it needs from
the subject line - regardless of whether it is in BB or Hobbit format.

I'd start the troubleshooting by adding a line or two to echo the
data bb-mailack sends to Hobbit. Just before the line
  $BB $BBPAGE "ack ack_event ${NUMBER} ${DELAY} ${MESSAGE}"
could you add this:
  echo "ack ack_event ${NUMBER} ${DELAY} ${MESSAGE}"  >>/tmp/mailack.log

Then do a couple of mail-ack's and check out what's in the log file.
My first suspicion is that the ack-number is wrong, since that will
mean that Hobbit silently discards the ack-message.

Well to make a small contribution back to hobbit, attached is a
modified version of bb-mailack.sh that assumes you are using RC3 (I
removed the settings for AWK, etc.) Also, sets BBDISPLAYS to BBDISP,
BBPAGERS to BBPAGE (you'll need to change this if you have multiple
displays or pagers). One other mod is when you ack by email, the
message in the acknowledgement will read: email ack from [user's name]
 Duration [delay] min

Also, included are the changes suggested by Asif and Henrik in this thread.
This script still uses ack ack_event as I did not have a chance to
test with hobbitdack.

There are 2 places you will need to change the path if your home is
not /usr/local/hobbit.

I'll add comments soon. If this is not the proper method of
distributing mods for hobbit please let me know what is and I'll
adhere to it.

Thanks and great software.

  echo "ack ack_event ${NUMBER} ${DELAY} ${MESSAGE}"  >>/tmp/mailack.log

Then do a couple of mail-ack's and check out what's in the log file.
My first suspicion is that the ack-number is wrong, since that will
mean that Hobbit silently discards the ack-message.

Yeah I guess I should have read the copyright. My apologies.

Since it seems that the bb-mailack.sh script is quite popular, I went
ahead and came up with a Hobbit re-implementation of that concept.
So there will be a hobbit-mailack tool included in the next release.
