Hi Alan;<br>
<br>
Yes, you can call external scripts by setting the "to" field of the
alert to "| /path/to/script.sh" (note the pipe character at the
beginning). Some information about the alert will be passed on as
arguments to the script. From the SmokePing documentation:<br>
<dl>
<dt><b>to</b> <i>(mandatory setting)</i></dt>
<dd>
<p>Either an email address to send alerts to, or the name of a
program to execute when an alert matches. To call a program, the first
character of the <b>to</b> value must be a pipe symbol "|". The
program will the be called whenever an alert matches, using the
following 5 arguments (except if <b>edgetrigger</b> is 'yes'; see
below): <b>name-of-alert</b>, <b>target</b>, <b>loss-pattern</b>, <b>rtt-pattern</b>,
<b>hostname</b>. You can also provide a comma separated list of
addresses and programs.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
- Peter<br>
