OK, After looking in hobbtid_alert.c, it is now obvious that for testing colors 
other than red, the "duration" parameter must also be given:


[bb at iris bin]$ ./hobbitd_alert --test bilbo msgs 0 yellow | egrep "Match 
with|Mail alert|Script alert"
00008430 2006-07-07 08:20:30 *** Match with 'PAGE=%^$' ***
00008430 2006-07-07 08:20:30 *** Match with '$MAIL_DH' ***
00008430 2006-07-07 08:20:30 Mail alert with command 'mail -s "Hobbit [12345] 
bilbo:msgs warning (YELLOW)" xxx.yyy at sample.com'
00008430 2006-07-07 08:20:30 *** Match with 'HOST=$ADMIN_HOSTS' ***
00008430 2006-07-07 08:20:30 *** Match with 'HOST=*' ***
00008430 2006-07-07 08:20:30 *** Match with '$MAIL_ROOT UNMATCHED' ***

Same issue using today's snapshot (4.2-beta-20060605.3)


Sorry for not understanding this from the man page ;-)

  --test HOST SERVICE [duration [color [time]]]
