Of course :

$ $BBHOME/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test foo cpu
2005-02-15 14:59:22 Using default environment file ../etc/hobbitserver.cfg
Matching host:service:page 'foo:cpu:' against rule line 115:Matched
    *** Match with 'HOST=foo TIME=W:0900:1800' ***
Matching host:service:page 'foo:cpu:' against rule line 116:Matched
    *** Match with 'SCRIPT /tmp/alerte.sh SERVICE=*
EXSERVICE=disk,mem,procs' ***
Script alert with command '/tmp/alerte.sh' and recipient SERVICE=*
Matching host:service:page 'foo:cpu:' against rule line 117:Failed (min.
duration)
Matching host:service:page 'foo:cpu:' against rule line 118:Failed (color)
Matching host:service:page 'foo:cpu:' against rule line 119:Failed (time

Here are lines 115 to 119 of my $BBHOME/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg :

115 HOST=foo TIME=W:0900:1800
116         SCRIPT /tmp/alerte.sh SERVICE=* EXSERVICE=disk,mem,procs
117         SCRIPT /tmp/alerte.sh SERVICE=disk DURATION>5m REPEAT=2h
118         SCRIPT /tmp/alerte.sh SERVICE=mem COLOR=yellow REPEAT=24h
119         SCRIPT /tmp/alerte.sh SERVICE=procs TIME=*:1145:1150,*:1205:1300
REPEAT=24h

Done.

the message subject which scripts ignore. So drop that.

Undone ;-)
