Argh. That's bitten me before.  I have to figure out how to get the actual word 'recovered' in there to make it easier to understand at 4am.

Hmm.  I didn't have --okcolors=green, so I added that to the hobbitd command. 

Just to clarify about the hobbitd_alert command, that's in the bbpage module, correct?  I didn't have --alertcolors there, but I've just added it:

[bbpage]
        ENVFILE /opt/bb/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=page   --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/page.log hobbitd_alert --alertcolors=red,purple

Thanks for your assistance.
