Hi,

from my alerts.cfg:

$TGSEND=/usr/local/bin/xymon-telegram-bot-send-to $AXELTG=365653126

HOST=mehari EXSERVICE=libs,dirtyvcs,sftbnc,misc SCRIPT $TGSEND $AXELTG DURATION>15 RECOVERED REPEAT=24h COLOR=red,yellow FORMAT=TEXT SCRIPT $TGSEND $AXELTG RECOVERED REPEAT=24h COLOR=purple FORMAT=TEXT

This works and already uses wormacros.

After reading "In fact, you can put an entire line into a macro" on https://www.xymon.com/help/xymon-alerts.html#scripts I tried this:

$TGSEND=SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/xymon-telegram-bot-send-to $AXELTG=365653126

HOST=mehari EXSERVICE=libs,dirtyvcs,sftbnc,misc $TGSEND $AXELTG DURATION>15 RECOVERED REPEAT=24h COLOR=red,yellow FORMAT=TEXT $TGSEND $AXELTG RECOVERED REPEAT=24h COLOR=purple FORMAT=TEXT

But it silently failed to send out any alert. Nothing in /var/log/xymon/alert.log nor in /var/log/xymon/notifications.log.

And I don't understand why. Is this a bug in macro expansion? Or do macros only work for either complete lines or single words, but not multiple words?

	Kind regards, Axel
