[hobbit] Remove square brackets from Alerts

[Dominique Frise]

Hi Allan,

We do encode square brackets before calling our sms_client exectutable.

-----------
# Alert message.
# Extract first error line from the received message text.
# SMS is limited to 160 char.
# We allow 30 char. for the $BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME [$ACKCODE] stuff.
# It remains 130 for the $LINE.
LINE=`echo "$BBALPHAMSG" | grep "&${BBCOLORLEVEL}" | head -1`
LINE=`echo "$LINE" | sed -e "s/&${BBCOLORLEVEL} //g"`
LINE=`echo "$LINE" | cut -c1-130`

# "[" and "]" must be encoded as 27(ESC) 60 and 27 62 respectively
# This is achieved in vi using CTRL-V ESC < and CTRL-V ESC >
# For details in 7 bit default alphabet specified in GSM,
# see http://www.visualgsm.com/bit_default_alphabet.htm
SMS_MSG="$BBHOSTNAME:$BBSVCNAME ^[<$ACKCODE^[>
$LINE"
------------
