Re: [hobbit] SMS paging

I wrote a custom external server-side script to do just that.  Consider the
license as open source.  To use the script, in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file,
use something like this:
SCRIPT /var/hobbit/server/ext/oursms <distro list> REPEAT=1h
COLOR=red,purple

#!/bin/sh

# Description:  Adds a searchable subject string to SMS-formatted messages
#               to allow client-side filtering of possible duplicate alerts.
# NOTES:        BBHOSTSVC = The host affected, and the name of the alert
#               BBALPHAMSG = The full alert message (same as
#                               BBHOSTSVC [ACKCODE] if FORMAT=SMS)
#               ACKCODE = The ack code for the alert
#               BBCOLORLEVEL = The color of the alert (red, yellow, etc)

I was thinking about this too, the only way I could think to possibly do
it would be to make a script to grep for &color and send only that line
on.  The only problem arises if the alert has no &color tag or has
multiple (no script has emerged yet but it might once I get back to
hobbit in about 2-3 weeks)

Subject: [hobbit] SMS paging

Is there a way or has anyone been able to hack something together to
send more detail using the SMS tag.  Im using qpage to send out my SMS's
to our pagers but it would be nice if it would send along the Error that
actually triggered the alert.

server1.somedomain.com.disk red 123456

This is nice but it would be better if it could give you the details,

server1.somedomain.com.disk red "/opt 99%" 123456

or something similar.

Thanks
Trent
