Hello, Paul. 

I wonder if it's that you have the entire thing on one line that is the
issue. 

I mention this because I have the following set up for one of my test
systems: 

HOST=in-nvaderax01 

  SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/red-alert-xymon-mail.sh <my email address>
DURATION>1 REPEAT=1m COLOR=red SERVICE=procs,msgs RECOVERED 

I tested it out, just now, by echoing the alarm string into a monitored
log and it works just fine. I got the first alert 1 minute after the
text was detected in my log and another, a minute later.
