no-alerts.pl - This script uses bbhostgrep to get a list of sevrers, then

fetches their

info test. It then parses this looking for 'No Alerts Defined' It

then outputs

hostname of the machines that are missing alert config.

Is there an easy way to check for hosts without alerts defined? I have about 4000 hosts being monitored and some do not have alerts defined. I would hate to have to check the info test for each of those manually.
