does anyone have a use for an alert that takes an action and does a normal alert? i'm working on one now, as i haven;t seen one lying around. my reasoning follows.
in some cases, devices that we monitor can be fixed in a programatic manner. this proposed alert would take the place of mail.alert or qpage.alert. it would take an arg (-a <file>, for example) that is a script to run if we are alerting on the service, and another arg (-c <mail.alert>) for the normal alert to call). the script may attempt to fix the failed service while the normal alert is being processed. -Tom Scanlan OpenReach, Inc.
