Hi,

We cannot test our rules with other color than red: the matching messages always show same results for the "red" color:

[bb at iris bin]$ ./hobbitd_alert --test bilbo msgs red | egrep "Match with|Mail alert|Script alert" 00017141 2006-07-06 11:05:04 *** Match with 'PAGE=%^$ *** 00017141 2006-07-06 11:05:04 *** Match with '$MAIL_DH' *** 00017141 2006-07-06 11:05:04 Mail alert with command 'mail -s "Hobbit [12345] bilbo:msgs CRITICAL (RED)" xxx.yyy at sample.com' 00017141 2006-07-06 11:05:04 *** Match with 'HOST=$ADMIN_HOSTS' *** 00017141 2006-07-06 11:05:04 *** Match with '$SMS_DH' *** 00017141 2006-07-06 11:05:04 Script alert with command '/soft/pub/BB/hobbit/server/bin/sendsms' and recipient 0123456789 00017141 2006-07-06 11:05:04 *** Match with 'HOST=*' *** 00017141 2006-07-06 11:05:04 *** Match with '$MAIL_ROOT UNMATCHED' ***

Same results with "purple" color.

PS: this is 4.2-beta-10060601

Any ideas?

OK, After looking in hobbtid_alert.c, it is now obvious that for testing colors other than red, the "duration" parameter must also be given:

[bb at iris bin]$ ./hobbitd_alert --test bilbo msgs 0 yellow | egrep "Match with|Mail alert|Script alert" 00008430 2006-07-07 08:20:30 *** Match with 'PAGE=%^$' *** 00008430 2006-07-07 08:20:30 *** Match with '$MAIL_DH' *** 00008430 2006-07-07 08:20:30 Mail alert with command 'mail -s "Hobbit [12345] bilbo:msgs warning (YELLOW)" xxx.yyy at sample.com' 00008430 2006-07-07 08:20:30 *** Match with 'HOST=$ADMIN_HOSTS' *** 00008430 2006-07-07 08:20:30 *** Match with 'HOST=*' *** 00008430 2006-07-07 08:20:30 *** Match with '$MAIL_ROOT UNMATCHED' ***

Same issue using today's snapshot (4.2-beta-20060605.3)

Sorry for not understanding this from the man page ;-)
