[Xymon] Alerts.cfg

[Jeremy Ruffer]

Hi Neil,

You could use a script to create a list of the critical hosts into a 
file, include that file, then specify the actions.

In alerts.cfg

include hostlist
Then put what ever actions you want after that.

The script to create the list is:
#!/bin/sh

list=`grep = $XYMONSERVERROOT/etc/critical.cfg |cut -f1 -d'|'`

ALERTLIST="host="
FIRST="Y"
for host in $list
do
   if [ $FIRST = "Y" ]
   then
     ALERTLIST="${ALERTLIST}$host"
     FIRST="N"
   else
     ALERTLIST="${ALERTLIST},$host"
   fi
done
echo $ALERTLIST >$XYMONSERVERROOT/etc/hostlist

This script would need to be run every time you make a change to 
critical hosts.

Regards

Jeremy
