RE: {bb} Paging in bb 1.09b/c

:-)  YOu have a e-mail pager, BB cannot differentiate between
:-)  and regular mail and e-pager.  You'll have to
:-)  prefix the e-pager address with a tag such that it
:-)  does not fall into the e-mail code.
:-)  
:-)  You'll have to duplicate the e-mail code or put
:-)  some check in the e-mail case statement in bb-page1.sh
:-)  such that it'll recognizes the pager@test.com address
:-)  as an e-pager not regular mail...
:-)  
:-)  This will require you to get your hands dirty and
:-)  hack the code for now.

Does this mean that there is nobody out there doing this???? I assumed that
if I set the PAGER variable in bb-page.sh, bb would send a page to the PAGER
variable. I added the pager address in bbwarnrules.cfg just so I can set the
pagedelay (overriding the pagedelay of bbwarnsetup.cfg on each host).

:-)  > bbwarnsetup.cfg:
:-)  > pagelevels: red yellow purple
:-)  > pagelevelsmail: yellow

:-)  Do you actually force the PAGER variable ?

How else do I set the PAGER variable?

:-)  Do you have a beta of BB ? Anyway that error
:-)  should disappear in 1.2

Nope. It's 1.09b/c.

Thanks.
