Should be:

input string: sh /blahblah/script.sh <returnvalue> <hostname>

Then select "hostname" in Input Fields and type hostname under "Special Type Code" section.

Just hostname it shows some examples in the field next to it. I used the Unix ping as an example when I created my own templates.

Please try second to last link of my signature. Currently, I'm too confused with all those postings. So I would require a clean start
