[Xymon] removing <!-- [flags:ordAstLe] > from custom email script

There's probably a better solution to this problem. But you could get by with this:

NEWMSG=echo "$BBALPHAMSG" | sed 's/<!--[^>]*>//' MSG="$FROM\n$TO\n$SUBJECT\n\n\n\n$NEWMSG\n"

My boss didn't like the subject line of the default email alerts and he asked me to change it.

I found a script online that does it -- so I modified the script and the subject line is doing what is expected but the body of the email is displaying some text that I would like not to be displayed.

How can I remove the " red [965282] red <!-- [flags:ordAstLe] >" or more importantly "<!-- [flags:ordAstLe] >"?

Here is the script:

#!/bin/bash

SM="/usr/sbin/sendmail" DATE=date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S FROM="From: Xymon Server <xxxxxx at xxxxxx.com>" TO="To:xxxxx at txxxxxx.com"

 if [ "$RECOVERED" = "1" ]; then
 RECOVERED="(Recovered)"
 else
 RECOVERED=""
 fi

SUBJECT="Subject: D0 BIG BROTHER ALERT - $BBSVCNAME test on $BBHOSTNAME"

MSG="$FROM\n$TO\n$SUBJECT\n\n\n\n$BBALPHAMSG\n"

echo -e "$MSG" | $SM -t #####################################################

On a 'conn' test, it is displaying:

xxxxxxx.corp.local:conn red [965282] red <!-- [flags:ordAstLe] --> Wed Oct 1 10:46:24 2014 conn NOT ok

Service conn on xxxxxxx.corp.local is not OK : Host does not respond to ping

System unreachable for 20 poll periods (5386 seconds)

&red 5.5.5.5 is unreachable

###################################################

Is there anyway to remove that? Thanks in advance.
