[Xymon] Process report tweak? (a request from my boss's boss...)

[Ralph Mitchell]

If you need a solution right now, you could use an alert script that pretty
much just does this:

     #!/bin/bash
     MESSAGE=`echo "$BBALPHAMSG" | egrep "\&red|\&yellow" | sort`

     echo "$MESSAGE" | mailx -s "$BBHOSTNAME $BBSVCNAME $BBCOLORLEVEL" $RCPT

That gets you just the alerting filesystems.  Then in
/home/xymon/server/etc/alerts.cfg:

     HOST=hostname.server.com  SERVICE=procs
          SCRIPT  /home/xymon/bin/process-alert.sh  some.body at mailserver.com

I'm using something similar to direct messages to different support groups
for different filesystems.
