How to customize the contents of the subject line in alerts and recovery e-mails.
Below is a simple/sample alert script I use.
Tell hobbit to use your script by editing your ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg file and set the recipient of your alerts to a SCRIPT instead of MAIL like so:
HOST=* SCRIPT /usr/local/sbin/hobbit-alert.sh FORMAT=SCRIPT DURATION>5m REPEAT=2h
Here's my /usr/local/sbin/hobbit-alert.sh script. Modify as you see fit. The SUBJECT line in this email will wrap. Put it all on one line. Hope this helps.
