{bb} Alerts with External Script

[Chris Morrison <chris.morrison@criticalpath.net>]

I've noticed that with my external script, BB will display a problem as 
'red', but won't actually email anyone, even though it has been setup to 
in bbwarnrules.cfg .

For example...

If I do...

$BBHOME/bin/bb localhost "status test.test red `date` Not good"

And I wait a couple of minutes, I don't receive an alert.

But if I do...

$BBHOME/bin/bb localhost "status test.test red `date` Not good"
$BBHOME/bin/bb localhost "page test.test red `date` This is a test"

I'll receive the alert.  It's as if BB isn't automatically recognizing 
the fact that things marked with a red status should be notified.

Is this normal, or is there something I can set so that I won't have to 
send the "page test.test red `date` This is a test" every time 
something's wrong?

I've noticed that devmon just sends the 'status', which is probably why 
I'm not getting any alerts for things marked red coming from devmon.
