RE: {bb} acking all alerts for a machine

["Kimberly McKinnis" <kmckinnis@macrovision.com>]

Thank you for the answer about the feature. I downloaded bbgen and read
through the INSTALL file. I am planning to check out the display part
like you said and am compiling a report of benefits for the boss :)

I don't think so, unless you have "pagetype: HOST" in bbwarnsetup.cfg,
in which case it is automatic.

Sorry - no, bbgen has so far stayed completely away from the
page/ack stuff. About the only thing I haven't gone into :-)

Well, it's a valid concern when you start messing with any kind of
mission-critical system. I'm fortunate enough to have a system
available for testing new releases so our production BB only gets new
bbgen releases when I am fairly certain they won't disrupt something.
But there are ways of trying out bbgen - at least the display part -
without interrupting your current BB setup, see the INSTALL file.
