Line 110 of web/hobbit-ackinfo.c has the following:

                /* ackinfo HOST.TEST\nlevel\nvaliduntil\nackedby\nmsg */
                bbmsg = (char *)malloc(1024 + strlen(hostname) + strlen(testname) + strlen(ackedby) + strlen(ackmsg));
                sprintf(bbmsg, "ackinfo %s.%s\n%d\n%d\n%s\n%s\n",
                        hostname, testname, level, validity, ackedby, ackmsg);
                res = sendmessage(bbmsg, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0, BBTALK_TIMEOUT);

So, it would appear you should be able to use 'bb' to send an appropriate message, as shown in the comment.

(this could be added to the 'bb' man page if it would be of interest).
