Re: [hobbit] custom script help

thanx.
I would prefer the message bodies were sent to the hobbit server. Is there a way of doing that? Also, would the text appear in the hobbit template or just as a regular text page? 

Thanx.

Hi,
I'm writing a custom script that parses a mailbox and sends the
contents to the hobbit server. The problem is some emails are large,
so I would like the status page to show a list of email subjects
which, when one is clicked, would display the contents of that
message. Is that possible? If so, how would I go about sending the
body of each message and generating a link in the status page.


If your script assembles a message something like this:

   LINE="status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date`
       <a href=url_for_message_1>subject of message 1</a>
       <a href=url_for_message_2>subject of message 2</a>"

and then sends that to Hobbit using:

   $BB $BBDISP "$LINE"

you should get a detail page with clickable links.

$MACHINE should be the machine name with commas instead of dots.
$TEST should be the name of the column you want to report.
