Hello,

-----------------------------------------------------
My hobbit-alert.cfg file has the following line in it:

HOST=*
        MAIL mprice at hst.nasa.gov

----------------------------------------------------------
I can run the command like this with the output below:

[hobbit at hobbithost bin]$ ./hobbitd_alert --test v43mgt conn
00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 send_alert v43mgt:conn state Paging
00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 Matching host:service:page 'v43mgt:conn:' 
against rule line 129
00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 *** Match with 'HOST=*' ***
00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 Matching host:service:page 'v43mgt:conn:' 
against rule line 129
00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 *** Match with 'HOST=*' ***
00003217 2006-10-23 11:59:07 Mail alert with command 
'/var/spool/mail/hobbit "Hobbit [12345] v43mgt:conn CRITICAL (RED)" 
mprice at hst.nasa.gov'

------------------------------------------------------------

It seems to work but I never get the test email, I do get regular alarms 
when a host is down though. What is wrong my testing??? I just 
configured the hobbit server to alert me via email, so i am trying to 
test this.


thanx in advance, michael a. price
