[Xymon] Alert script "BBCOLORLEVEL" is red when recovered

[Kris Springer]

Thanks Ralph, I got the 'Recovered' emails working now.  On to the 
'Info' emails!  I've tried added an elif line to look for the word INFO 
in the message content, but it doesn't seem to work.  Any thoughts?  
Here's the line I'm using.

elif [[ $BBALPHAMSG = *INFO* ]];
then
echo "Info found"
