[hobbit] Alert function wont work!

Well, well. If your host names are allowed to include colons, I bet lots of software gets confused, including DNS!

But you might need to change to the regular expression form of matching -- stick a % in front and see if that helps. But since colons are not allowed in DNS names, and they indicate ports, you may be "up the creek".

in the hobbit-alerts.cfg: HOST=WS004:81 MAIL im.number.nine at gmail.com SERVICE=http MAIL my_2nd_email at host.nl SERVICE=http I know the http is down from that host so i gave it a shot, i saved and rebooted but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas what might be wrong?

	Unless the ":81" is part of the actual hostname, it

shouldn't be there, and instead should just be: HOST=WS004 Be sure the hostname matches the same name you are using in your bb-hosts file. -Charles
