It's almost like I know what I'm doing. I just wrapped it in quotes and pipe delimited it then added to my script to parse it (it's script to post to Slack channels that needed to be fed a channel since I changed how I wanted to separate the alerts). Just added the following and it basically just worked...

SCRIPT /path/to/script 'webhook|channelname'

?

Parse the recipient to get the channel and key

VAR=echo $RCPT | awk -F "|" '{ print "webhook="$1; print "channel="$2 }' eval $VAR

It really was that simple...

You might be able to comma-separate multiple args to make them look like one.

If not, could you just put the multiple args in a flat file and grep at the top of the script for the single $RCPT that gets passed?

Hey,

Is there any way to have the SCRIPT type recipient take more than 2 args? I need to be able to feed the script itself more than just the recipient...although, it occurs to me, I might be able to cheat by feeding it that inside a string with a separator. Anyone ever tried to do this?

thanks
