Re: [hobbit] Using Hobbit icons inside your status messages

[Daniel Bourque <dbourque (at) weatherdata.com>]

This is how hobbit reports statuses( mostly ), so it makes it easier to 
make your checks & alert scripts more generic.

to grab status messages ( perl ):

foreach $line ( split($ENV{BBALPHAMSG},'\n') ) {
   if ( /^&(yellow|red|purple)/ ) {
         # do whatever with $line
   }
}
