{bb} Custom SMTP script

[MT <mlist@cmcflex.com>]

Brothers,

I've been messing around with a custom SMTP script.  The reason is  
that I would like to set alert levels based on the time it takes for  
the SMTP server to answer.  The meat of the script is such:

OUTPUT=`command time -o /tmp/time.temp $BBHOME/bin/bbnet  
"10.5.101.7:25"`

TIME_RESULTS=`cat /tmp/time.temp | grep "elapsed" | awk '{print $3}'  
| cut -d: -f2 | sed 's/elapsed//' | cut -d. -f1`

if [ "${TIME_RESULTS}" -ge "30" ];
then
        COLOR="red"
        MESSAGE="
Telnet timeout exceeded 30 seconds!
Actual Completion Time: ${TIME_RESULTS}"

elif [ "${TIME_RESULTS}" -gt "15" -a ${TIME_RESULTS} -lt "30" ];
then
        COLOR="yellow"
        MESSAGE="
Telnet timeout warning!
Actual Completion Time: ${TIME_RESULTS}"
else
        COLOR="green"
        MESSAGE="
Telnet normal.
Actual Completion Time: ${TIME_RESULTS}"
fi

I blocked SMTP traffic from BBNET so I could test this out. What's  
happening is after 20 seconds bbnet returns and the script (because  
it took 20 seconds) marks status as yellow.  Since I blocked smtp  
traffic I would want that status to be red (should take longer than  
20 seconds).  Is this possible?  Any ideas out there how I can  
improve this script?

Thanks,
Matt
