The email alerts I get from my hobbit user have no subject line.
This makes it tricky to get a quick idea of what's up - I obviously have to open every email to see the service and color.
Is it possible to get the subject as per BB? I guess I could change over from MAIL to SCRIPT and format it myself, but I'd thought I'd ask what everyone else was up to first :-)
Cheers, Andy.

What system is this on - Linux, Solaris, BSD or ... ? What command is used to send mail on your system ? What's the MAIL setting in your hobbitserver.cfg file ?
Try this. Login as the hobbit user, cd to the server/ directory and run this command:
$ ./bin/bbcmd --env=etc/hobbitserver.cfg hobbitd_alert --test osiris.hswn.dk cpu Matching host:service:page 'osiris.hswn.dk:cpu:' against rule line 109:Failed (hostname not in include list) Matching host:service:page 'osiris.hswn.dk:cpu:' against rule line 112:Matched *** Match with 'HOST=!pto.linuxbog.dk,!router1.aab11.dk,!router2.aab11.dk EXSERVICE=dnsinfo,tes' *** Matching host:service:page 'osiris.hswn.dk:cpu:' against rule line 113:Matched *** Match with 'MAIL henrik at hswn.dk REPEAT=15 RECOVERED COLORS=!purple' *** Mail alert with command 'mail -s "BB [12345] osiris.hswn.dk:cpu is RED" henrik at hswn.dk'
(Obviously, you should use one of your own hostnames).
The command that is used to send mail is shown in the line beginning with "Mail alert with command" - it should include a subject, so if it doesn't when the mail shows up in your mailbox, you may have to use a different MAIL setting on your system.

I always thought that is how it was supposed to be and that the SMS or shorter messages just made it smaller and had a subject. Guess I should have tried it.
Solaris the mail command does not accept -s but mailx does. I changed it in hobbitserver.cfg to mailx and everything works fine.

Thanks Henrik and Chris - I am indeed running Solaris 9 x86 and changing the "MAIL=" directive in hobbitserver.cfg did the trick. Any chance the configure script can be updated to do this by default on Solaris?
Henrik - when I ran the test I got the following errors:
bash-3.00$ ./bin/bbcmd --env=etc/hobbitserver.cfg hobbitd_alert --test zd2sv1 vmio 2005-02-07 09:31:17 Unknown option '--test' 2005-02-07 09:31:17 Unknown option 'zd2sv1' 2005-02-07 09:31:17 Unknown option 'vmio'
I am, however, still running B6 rather than RC1 as I didn't get any reply about my conn/fping problems after I upgraded :-) I'd link to the message but the February archives don't seem to be up yet. The subject was "Re: [hobbit] Hobbit 4.0-RC1 available - conn errors" and it was sent 03/02/2005 04:24 GMT.
Thanks and regards, Andy.

Perhaps, yes.

The errors from the hobbitd_larrd --test is due to you running beta-6.
As for the "conn" errors you got, I just posted a reply a couple of minutes ago. I don't see what would cause this, so I need some debugging output.
I'd link to the message but the February archives don't seem to be up yet.
Argh ... mhonarc is not behaving like I want it to. Will look at it.
Henrik
mail on Solaris including Solaris 9, doesn't include the -s flag. Look at the man page, you would want to set MAIL to mailx:
MAIL=mailx
man mail man mailx
