Hello all, when using macros to define a group of email addresses, is there a delimiter required to string them together?? Or do I need to enclose them in quotes?...as in:
None of that is needed. This one
$ALERTGROUP=kevin at domain.com bob at domain.com joe at domain.com
will work, assuming you use it like
HOST=*
MAIL $ALERTGROUP COLOR=redComma-delimited also works for some people, but that depends on your "mail" program. Why? Because a definition like this
$ALERTGROUP=kevin at domain.com,bob at domain.com,joe at domain.com
ends up being passed as a command-line parameter to the $MAIL program. So if your mail-program understands a list of recipients separated by commas, it is actually more efficient because Hobbit only needs to run the mail program once with the comma-separated list of recipients.
