So let me get this clear. If I setup "--alertcolors=red" in the
hobbitlaunch.cfg file (and restart hobbit) I do not have to add
COLOR=red and FORMAT for the default TEXT alert for RED only to work?

Sorry for such a long question.

Realizing now how simple the alert file now compare to bbwarrules and
bbwarnsetup files

Thank you so much for such an awesome tool
