<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-AU">Use the script option in the alerts file.<br>
At a previous client, we had a very specific problem we were monitoring for.<br>
Instead of Xymon sending a standard alert email, I needed a set of detailed instructions sent out, indicating how to resolve the issue.<br>
I then created a script to send the custom email, instead.<br>
It worked so well, the client asked me to use the technique for a number of other problem areas.<br>
Most popular use was to send instructions to helpdesk, explaining who to log the call to, and the severity level.<br>
