Title: How to assign $BBALPHAMSG in ext monitor script?

Hi list,

Having some issues with $BBALPHAMSG value .. the tail of the monitor script looks like this:

$state="green"; $cond="It's All Good!";
foreach $file (@files) {
        next if ( ! -e $file );
        $st = stat($file);
        $delta = time() - $st->mtime;
        if ( $delta >  $limit ) {
                $fwtk_component = "relay" if $file =~ /relay/;
                $fwtk_component = "gwproxy" if $file =~ /gwp/;
                $state="red";
                $cond="$fwtk_component needs to be restarted, Toolkit log $file has not been modified for $delta seconds."

        }
}

$line ="status $host.$test $state $now $cond";
`$ENV{'BB'} $ENV{'BBDISP'} \"$line\"`;

I'd expect $cond to be assigned to $BBALPHAMSG available for the ext notification script but this is not the case.

Did I understand this right? What part exactly from the monitor script is assigned to $BBALPHAMSG?

Thanks,
