customize the email body alerts for xymon
I have written an email script which displays as html (of course you have to have a html enabled email client). It checks for individual services and displays a fixed message, could also add checks for specific hosts to.
Here is a sample (not sure if html will display properly thru here) Xymon Alert (red) : files utnfrc01.stanwell.com

Use the script option in the alerts file. At a previous client, we had a very specific problem we were monitoring for. Instead of Xymon sending a standard alert email, I needed a set of detailed instructions sent out, indicating how to resolve the issue. I then created a script to send the custom email, instead. It worked so well, the client asked me to use the technique for a number of other problem areas. Most popular use was to send instructions to helpdesk, explaining who to log the call to, and the severity level.

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, but I'm looking to add custom text to the BBALPHAMSG in my script and I don't see how that's done with the example in this thread.
Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks for the script, Alan. Much appreciated, however, what I'm looking to do is simply add some text to the existing bbalphamsg without converting it to html and/or creating a completely new message.
Is it possible to import the $bbalphamsg, add to it, and then export it back out? I'm not proficient enough with linux scripting to know this, so please forgive me if I'm asking noob questions.
Thanks,
