I have Hobbit running on my workstation, just monitoring itself. Then
I setup bb-hosts or hobbit-alerts.cfg as needed for the test I want to
do; e.g here I added some extra alert rules:

HOST=osiris.hswn.dk
        MAIL henrik at hswn.dk REPEAT=1h COLOR=red RECOVERED
        MAIL henrik-yellow at hswn.dk REPEAT=1h COLOR=red,yellow RECOVERED

Restarted Hobbit, and fired off a yellow and a red alert:

bb 127.0.0.1 "status osiris,hswn,dk.test1 yellow `date` Test Y"
bb 127.0.0.1 "status osiris,hswn,dk.test1 red `date` Test R"

and noticed what emails were being sent - I should get one message for
the yellow status, and two for the red. When I got these, repeat the
"bb" commands with a green status, and see what recovery messages show
up.
