Hi Alan,
I think there is some confusion because in your first email you said:
  
I've read the sections on ALERTCOLORS and OKCOLORS.  It does work
    
better 
  
when I remove yellow from the list.  But I need to sometimes alert on 
yellow status, so this is not really an option.
    
But here you state:
  
red->yellow->green. If I use only the COLOR=red,yellow, I'm 
goind to get alerted on a yellow 
disk (undesired).
    
So we need to understand more clearly when you want to be alerted on red
and yellow and when you don't.
