[Xymon] Alert script "BBCOLORLEVEL" is red when recovered

[kspringer at innovateteam.com]

I did a lot of searching and tried all sorts of different variations with no success. So I gave up on it unless someone has a known functioning line of code they can share. 

Thanks, 
Kris Springer

Hi Kris,

maybe you should try

elif [[ $BBALPHAMSG =~ INFO ]]

and see if that works.

Cheers,
