getting alert to call scripts

Hi
I've setup an alert to call a script but I must have something wrong
as the scripts are never getting called.

The alert is:

HOST=devsite SERVICE=http
        MAIL dninja at gmail.com DURATION>5
        SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendsms 1234567890 FORMAT=SMS
        SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendemail 1234567890 FORMAT=TEXT
        SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendscript 1234567890 FORMAT=SCRIPT

And to test it:

/usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/hobbitd_alert --test devsite http
00026523 2007-08-16 20:14:41 send_alert devsite:http state Paging

All the scripts are in place

ls -l /usr/local/bin/send*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 101 2007-08-16 19:19 /usr/local/bin/sendemail
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 103 2007-08-16 19:18 /usr/local/bin/sendscript
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 100 2007-08-16 19:19 /usr/local/bin/sendsms

yet when I stop the webserver and cause the status to go red none of
the scripts get called.

The scripts currently just write to a file the fact they have been
called and their parameters so that I can see what I have to play
with:

cat /usr/local/bin/sendscript
#!/usr/bin/php
<?
$h = fopen ("/tmp/script", "a");
fwrite ($h, print_r ($argv, true));
fclose ($h);
?>

I've got something wrong, what is it?

Thanks

Robin
