REPEAT is valid for both SCRIPT and MAIL - but not for host.

The 'REPEAT=' needs to be in the 'SCRIPT' line, not the 'HOST' line.

Here's a part of my hobbit-alerts that works fine (though in this case they happen to be 'MAIL'...):

Hello,

Today, after a friend had problems with is apache, I was sending a sms every 5 minutes.

Unfortunately this is my private phone so 1 sms per hour seems acceptable.

My rule states: (as found in the example on the manpage)

HOST=venus SERVICE=* REPEAT=1h TIME=*:0800:2200 COLOR=red SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendsmshobbit.sh 31652345678 FORMAT=sms

HOST=www.linix.be SERVICE=* REPEAT=1h TIME=*:0800:2200 COLOR=red SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendsmshobbit.sh 324567890123 FORMAT=sms

HOST=home.nouwen.name SERVICE=* REPEAT=1h TIME=*:1000:2200 COLOR=red SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendsmshobbit.sh 31652345678 FORMAT=sms

HOST=www.jos.nouwen.name SERVICE=* REPEAT=1h TIME=*:1000:2200 COLOR=red SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendsmshobbit.sh 31652345678 FORMAT=sms

my logfile states: 2009-03-09 18:46:07 Ignored unknown/unexpected token 'REPEAT=1h' at line 120 2009-03-09 18:46:07 Ignored unknown/unexpected token 'REPEAT=1h' at line 123 2009-03-09 18:46:07 Ignored unknown/unexpected token 'REPEAT=1h' at line 126 2009-03-09 18:46:07 Ignored unknown/unexpected token 'REPEAT=1h' at line 129

Clearly my solution was the "repeat" field. According to the internal documentation, this should be in mintes:

REPEAT - How often an alert gets repeated, in minutes.

The html manpage: REPEAT How often an alert gets repeated. As with the DURATION setting, this is in minutes unless explicitly modified with 'm', 'h', 'd'.

Ok, if this is what we need. In minutes:

HOST=venus SERVICE=* REPEAT=60 TIME=*:0800:2200 COLOR=red SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendsmshobbit.sh 31652345678 FORMAT=sms

My logfile states

/usr/local/bin/sendsms $RCPT "$BBALPHAMSG"

• /usr/local/bin/sendsms 31652345678 'home.nouwen.name:conn red [587147' 2009-03-09 21:49:17 Ignored unknown/unexpected token 'REPEAT=60' at line 120 2009-03-09 21:49:17 Ignored unknown/unexpected token 'REPEAT=60' at line 123 2009-03-09 21:49:17 Ignored unknown/unexpected token 'REPEAT=60' at line 126 2009-03-09 21:49:17 Ignored unknown/unexpected token 'REPEAT=60' at line 129

Can someone help me with the right syntax?

And my second question:

In the hobbit-clients.cfg is the folowing server:

HOST=venus

DISK /media/news 50 51

   DISK /media/news IGNORE
   PROC ssh
   PROC /usr/local/bin/smsd 2 2
   PROC cron
   PROC readserial 0 2

It must be clearly that the /media/news filesystem is of no importance. Monitoring is nice for the graph, but I do not want a red disk if the filesystem is full. I tried IGNORE, 100 100 but nothing works. Since this is one of the servers that is sending sms i want to tune this parameter.

Does someone else has an idea?

Regards,

Gé Janssen

p.s. I upgraded last weekend to Xymon 4.23 from 4.20
