How to send alert via script ? 🔗 link

I put the commands in a script alert.sh and call that script in hobbit-alerts.cfg:

  HOST=my_linux   SERVICE=disk
          SCRIPT alert.sh  my_linux


But still failed, no alert messages sent while disk state went to warning level, color was changed.

alert.sh:

#!/bin/sh
echo "$RCPT disk went to warning state" |smbclient -M cici
echo "$BBHOSTNAME disk reached warning state" |write hobbit

This test script works well in terminal mode.

[hobbit at my_linux etc]$ ../bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test my_linux disk

00005798 2007-05-31 06:04:23 Script alert with command 'alert.sh' and recipient my_linux

The call looked like invalid, any other detail debug mechanism available? 

Thanks again.

You'd better use the full path to the script.

I have my server as part of the hobbit monitoring pages.

However as this is the only system that it looks for bbgen and
hobbitlaunch, I want to remove these. (one is yellow and one is purple
so I just want to get rid of them)

Also on this server the mysql section is also constant orange, saying
mysql has been restarted recently, when I know for a fact it hasn't. how
do I resolve this? (Or even just remove it altogether)

If you want to get rid of the yellow, rather address the problems reported on that page (as there is a good reason it is yellow ...).

To get rid of the purple, drop it (see the bb man page), something like:
$ ~hobbit/bin/bb localhost 'drop localhost hobbitlaunch'

AFAIK there is no built-in mysql check that does this, so this is probably running as an extension script. The published ones are client-side, meaning there is most likely a script on the host being monitored, which needs fixing (or removal, and subsequent dropping of the check as above). It could be running out of cron, or from clientlaunch.cfg on the client.

However, you may rather want to replace this check with dbcheck.pl from http://sourceforge.net/projects/hobbit-perl-cl/ (which runs server-side and works relatively well).
