[Bigsister-general] how to pass NAME + CHANGE STATUS DIRECTION of a network element to the pager

["Software Forums" <suppressed>]

I have already managed to get my PABX to dial a pre-defined number and 
play a pre-recorded msg whenever my monitored network undergo a connection 
status change. This has been achieved using the paging functionality in 
BigSister.

Now I would like to tell the name of the system undergoing the status 
change as well as whether the change is UP or DOWN.

My question is:
Does BigSister pass the name of the system and the UP/DOWN direction when
it calls the pager script specified in /etc/bigsister/bb_event_generator.cfg ?

My guess is that it does since the e-mail sent contains, amongst 
others, also that data. 

My experiments with this are as follows:

Assuming I have the line

   *.conn  mail=<my-PABX-script>:<anything>,sendmail:<my-email-adddr>

in /etc/bigsister/bb_event_generator.cfg, the <my-PABX-script> receives
<anything> as a parameter, but nothing else. Since that line works for 
any system undergoing the status change, I can not use <anything> as a 
means to convey system specific information.

Does somebody know how can I make the pager to get the system + connection 
status direction or failing that, how to make the pager to get the same 
message body sendmail receives?

Thanks for your help.

	Costa
