<p>Hello, Paul.</p>
<p>I wonder if it's that you have the entire thing on one line that is the issue.</p>
<p>I mention this because I have the following set up for one of my test systems:</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">HOST=in-nvaderax01</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/red-alert-xymon-mail.sh <my email address> DURATION>1 REPEAT=1m COLOR=red SERVICE=procs,msgs RECOVERED</span></p>
<p>I tested it out, just now, by echoing the alarm string into a monitored log and it works just fine. I got the first alert 1 minute after the text was detected in my log and another, a minute later.</p>
