Thinking about this a bit more, it occurred to me that the current
"hobbit-statusreport" CGI could easily be tweaked to support this.
If you grab the latest snapshot, build it and copy the
web/hobbit-statusreport.cgi file to your ~hobbit/server/bin/ directory.
Then create this wrapper in your Hobbit cgi-bin directory:

#!/bin/sh

. /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg
exec /usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/hobbit-statusreport.cgi \
          --filter="color=red,yellow" --all \
	  --heading="All non-green systems" \
	  --show-column \
	  --show-summary \
	  --link


Running this CGI script will produce a text-only report of the
current non-green statuses. The "--show-summary" option causes
the report to have just a stripped-down summary of the current status,
if you want the full status text just remove that option.
