getting DURATION error in hobbitd_alert

[McGraw, Robert P]

In my hobbit-alert.cfg I have added the "DURATION>10" and I a get a Failed. See below.

If I make it DURATION<10, then I do not get an error.

Should the ">" be escaped? If so what is the escaped character for xymon.

I have tried DURATION\>10 but it did not seem to like the \ as an escape character.


Thanks for all your help.

Robert
