I think the >< characters are just email addons, they weren't in the original message.
However, I do see the main command line is surrounded by backticks:
/usr/lib/xymon/server/ext/twitter/infrabot-tweet.pl recepient $X $msg
Is that the case in the script? They should not be there.

My twitter style alerts are not alerting me when there is an alert.
My 'alerts.cfg' file looks like: HOST=www.xxx.com SERVICE=xxxWebPage SCRIPT /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xx.sh FORMAT=SMS COLOR=yellow,red RECOVERED
My 'hosts.cfg' file looks like: 216.x.x.x www.xxx.com #xxxWebPage
My 'xx.sh' looks like: #!/bin/bash X=
datemsg=echo "${BBALPHAMSG}"
</usr/lib/xymon/server/ext/twitter/infrabot-tweet.pl recepient $X $msg><
.... what is your intended purpose of the marks between >< chars? I wouldn't expect them there. also, is it a typo od does the script really try to call 'ext' instead etc? (note the path difference from your SCRIPT line and the path you call in the xx.sh script).
The xymon display server will turn red when there is an alert but I don't get the twitter alert. If I fire off the infrabot-tweet.pl on the command line, it works and I get the twitter alert.
I checked the permissions and all files under /usr/lib/xymon are owned by 'xymon:xymon'.
Please suggest, thanks.
