RE: Swatch configuration problem

Below is an example from my swatch.conf:

### Watch for BGP Adjacency Changes ###
        watchfor /BGP-5-ADJCHANGE/
        echo=normal
        mail=email () test com,subject= BGP Change!
        exec echo $0 >> /var/log/network/swatch/alert1.log

Mail works fine.  I'd remove the \ before the @.  I also don't think you
need "addresses" in the mail line.

Hi-


I'm having problems with getting swatch to email me alerts. I have
installed it successfully and have the following configuration setup in
my .swatchrc file:

watchfor /Priority\:2/
echo=green_h
mail addresses=ids\@san.rr.com,subject=----Snort Alert! ----
throttle 00:00:10

Pretty simple setup. Another strange thing is I used to get an echo on
my console everytime I would get an alert but after rebooting my
computer I get nothing, no echo and no email alerts. I can't figure it
out. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance!


Alan
