Justin,

 The example in /usr/local/sbin/example_scripts/test_alert.sh works. I
tested it here. It does have a slight error though if you are specifying
the node on the command line  -

if [ -z $1 ]
 then
   node=$NODE1
else
   node=$1   -   is $2 in the example script - should be $1 as shown here.
fi

The easiest way to check this is to open two ssh windows. Run the script in
one and in the other write and clear the file. You should see the condition
come up in the running script.

Clear file -

> /tmp/AUTOSKY/warnings.txt

write something to the file

echo "test" > /tmp/AUTOSKY/warnings.txt

Here is what you should see -

./test_alert.sh
Alert Active - sending 1 to FOB GPIO5        -when you write something to
the file
No Active Alert - sending 0 to FOB GPIO5  - when you clear the file
Alert Active - sending 1 to FOB GPIO5

The GPIO bi is set in the script. It is shown here as 5.
