[hobbit] No Subject On Mail Alerts

[Christopher T. Beers]

I always thought that is how it was supposed to be and that the SMS or 
shorter messages just made it smaller and had a subject.  Guess I should 
have tried it.

Solaris the mail command does not accept -s but mailx does.  I changed it 
in hobbitserver.cfg to mailx and everything works fine.

[hobbit at darwin ~/server]$ ./bin/bbcmd --env=etc/hobbitserver.cfg 
hobbitd_alert --test helpme.syr.edu cpu
Matching host:service:page 'helpme.syr.edu:cpu:' against rule line 
108:Matched
    *** Match with 'HOST=%.*' ***
Matching host:service:page 'helpme.syr.edu:cpu:' against rule line 
109:Matched
    *** Match with 'MAIL ctbeers at syr.edu RECOVERED' ***
Mail alert with command 'mail -s "BB [12345] helpme.syr.edu:cpu is RED" 
ctbeers at syr.edu'[hobbit at darwin ~/server]$ mail --help
