The value which is in the bb-msgs.sh file is a fall-back. It is only
used if there has been some problem and the intended value cannot be
read from the environment. To alter the behaviour, you should modify
the value in the file bbdef-client.sh within the "etc" directory.

You should also note that this value will need to be changed on
each client where you want this behaviour

Cheers, Phil.
