based on the day I would use crontab
but I obviously didn't get the questions because I didn't even recognize the IGNORE switch
always trying to create the wheel instead of reading the docs I guess :)

oops, accidentally sent that one, damn touch pad :)
what I meant to finish is you only mention which services you would like to receive alerts for
HOST=hostname MAIL bill at microsoft.com RECOVERED REPEAT=60 COLOR=red SERVICE=http
If it's based on time of day or some other criteria, then I think that hobbit-alerts.cfg resolves environment variales Or just create a small sed script to change lines in hobbit-alerts.cfg .. like :
#!/bin/bash file="/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg" OLDTEXT="SERVICE=.*$" NEWTEXT="http,ssh" if [ -f $file ]; then sed "s/^$OLDTEXT/$NEWTEXT/g" < $file >/tmp/$$ && mv /tmp/$$ $file fi
This replaces everything from SERVICE to end of line with what you put in NEWTEXT for all lines in the file
This will only change the first occurrence sed "s/^$OLDTEXT/$NEWTEXT/" < $file >/tmp/$$ && mv /tmp/$$ $file
an easier sed search and relplace can also be just sed -e 's/*oldtext*/newtext/' <filename>
Hope this helps, wasn't quite sure what you ment

Do you want to ignore these permanently Or randomly ? Or based on what day it is ?
Of course permanently is easy

Hi !
I've got in my hobbit-alerts.cfg many HOST and PAGE/SUBPAGE rules ...
Now i need (at the top i think) one rule, which disable alerting of some Services for all hosts ..
My first attempt is at the top
IGNORE SERVICE=test1,test2,test3
.. i thought, that's it .. but now, my mailmaster is angry because many mails hanging around in the mail-queue
with IGNORE at desy.de ....
Any hint ?
thanks & cheers,
