Re: [hobbit] delete queued alerts



We use email for most and scripts for critical alerts.  It appears that both were held up 'in queue' while the network connection was hosed.  I was curious if Hobbit actually had a queue where this stuff ended up, since the alerts sent after the reboot.

I suppose your alerts go out via e-mail ? In that case, the issue resolves to
stopping your mailer daemon and clearing the mail queue of the pending alerts.
