The way hobbitd_larrd works, then the external scripts can only be
invoked for status messages that it does not know how to handle.
Since "cpu" is well-known and handled internally in hobbitd_larrd, a
script cannot be used to process "cpu" status messages.

If you want to do it with a script: Yes.

Wouldn't be hard to add support for this in the standard hobbitd_larrd
handler. Is that "CPU 5 min average" on a line by itself, or is it
just your mail program that added a newline between the "status ..."
and "<br>CPU 5 min average..." ?
