[Xymon] Adding to subject line of email notice?

[Jeremy Laidman]

By using a SCRIPT alert you can display whatever you like. As long as you
can get it. In this case, the only tricky but is finding the name of the
subpage.

The "subpage" config directive is intended for web page display and is
parsed only by xymongen. The page tags are not actually assigned to each
host and so there is no mechanism to query what page a host is on.

However you could find a host's subpage by using GNU grep context on the
output of the xymoncfg command. Something like this (untested):

SUBPAGE=`xymoncfg | egrep "^[.0-9]*[[:blank:]]*$BBHOSTNAME|^subpage" |
egrep -B1 "^[.0-9]*[[:blank:]]*$BBHOSTNAME" | { read A B C; echo "$C" }`

Cheers
Jeremy
