[hobbit] Alert function wont work!

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Well, well.  If your host names are allowed to include colons, I bet
lots of software gets confused, including DNS!
 
But you might need to change to the regular expression form of matching
-- stick a % in front and see if that helps.  But since colons are not
allowed in DNS names, and they indicate ports, you may be "up the
creek".

in the hobbit-alerts.cfg:
			 
			HOST=WS004:81
			MAIL im.number.nine at gmail.com SERVICE=http
			MAIL my_2nd_email at host.nl SERVICE=http
			 
			I know the http is down from that host so i gave
it a shot, i saved and rebooted but it doesn't seem to work.
			 
			Any ideas what might be wrong?

		Unless the ":81" is part of the actual hostname, it
shouldn't be there, and instead should just be:
		HOST=WS004
		
		Be sure the hostname matches the same name you are using
in your bb-hosts file.
