Is there a way to retrieve an alert based on the ACKCODE? In Bigbrother
1.9c I was using the following script "findhostsvc.sh ACKCODE"--that I
received from the bigbrother mailing list--to get
the details. (I know it is not always reliable but it worked for me)

$ cat findhostsvc.sh

#!/bin/sh
BBHOME=/export/home/bbro/bb
ackcode=$1
cd $BBHOME/tmp
np_file=`grep $ackcode np_* 2>/dev/null`
set bogus `echo $np_file`
shift  # get rid of bogus
# $2 has host.service combination
hostsvc=$2
echo $hostsvc


Thanks for any suggestion on this.
