that required user specific ssh-agents to be running so this was written to let those teams know to log back in and restart the agents. Basically (from memory):

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828">Times have changed a bit in the infrastructure environment such that many have a large contingent of virtual machines and blades. These hosts tend to reboot rather quickly, hence connectivity failures tend to
not get noticed. I have a request on the table to send an email alert with a specific subject line to indicate that a host has rebooted.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828">I’ve seen a few posts over the years regarding requests to alert for system reboots. I also saw a post or two about adding a dynamic column capability. Some responses suggested an external script to accomplish
the task of emailing an alert. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828">I’m asking the question again because as I peruse the analysis.cfg and review the rules, I know I can issue an email alert for PROC and DISK.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828">That begs the question of ‘why can’t I issue an email alert for UP’? I’m fine with the ‘yellow’ on CPU test for recent reboot, but since it also includes load changes, I’m not interested in a generic email for
either one when they occur. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828">If I already can, how??<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#282828">And if not, suggestions for a simple approach? I’m not exactly getting the desired results server-wide with an external script that should just send an email for a CPU status color=yellow without interfering
with our other configured alerts. </span><span style="font-family:Wingdings;color:#282828">L</span><span style="color:#282828">
