Since updating to 4.0.4, I have had a couple of "reds" which have not
generated all of my alerts.

I have converted my hobbit-alerts.cfg file to use macros, and the
hobbitd_alert --test correctly expands all of the results, but only the
emails were executued and the scripts were not.

Relevant pieces from hobbit-alerts.cfg are:

  $MAIL_ANDY_STD=MAIL andy REPEAT=60m RECOVERED NOTICE
  $MAIL_GAYNA_STD=MAIL gayna REPEAT=60m RECOVERED
  $MAIL_INFORMIX_INF=MAIL informix REPEAT=60m RECOVERED
SERVICE=drstatus,informix
  $PAGE_SUPPORT_STD=SCRIPT /export/home/hobbit/bin/qpage support-pg
REPEAT=60m RECOVERED FORMAT=SMS COLOR=red
  $ETXT_ANDY_STD=SCRIPT /export/home/hobbit/bin/etxt andy-ph RECOVERED
FORMAT=SMS COLOR=red

  HOST=km-akl5,unakl5
        $MAIL_ANDY_STD
        $MAIL_GAYNA_STD
        $MAIL_INFORMIX_INF
        $PAGE_SUPPORT_STD
        $ETXT_ANDY_STD

And the test output shows:

  bash-3.00$ ~/server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test unakl5 cpu | grep
alert
  2005-05-31 09:30:15 Using default environment file
/export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
  00024460 2005-05-31 09:30:15 send_alert unakl5:cpu state Paging
  00024460 2005-05-31 09:30:15 Mail alert with command '/opt/csw/bin/nail
-s "Hobbit [12345] unakl5:cpu CRITICAL (RED)" andy'
  00024460 2005-05-31 09:30:15 Mail alert with command '/opt/csw/bin/nail
-s "Hobbit [12345] unakl5:cpu CRITICAL (RED)" gayna'
  00024460 2005-05-31 09:30:15 Script alert with command
'/export/home/hobbit/bin/qpage' and recipient support-pg
  00024460 2005-05-31 09:30:15 Script alert with command
'/export/home/hobbit/bin/etxt' and recipient andy-ph

But, as mentioned, the qpage and etxt scripts did not get executed.

I can try rolling back to my previous patched 4.0.3 version if required -
but would obviously prefer to see if there is an issue with 4.0.4.

Thanks and regards,
Andy.
