///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

You would invoke these scripts at the piktc command line, for example:

# piktc -ievbU +A =alerts -H down sick; piktc -ievbTU +A =alerts -H down sick

and:

# piktc -ivb +S =scripts -H down sick

Note how, by using the '-T' option in the second 'piktc -ievbTU +A =alerts -H down sick' command, this automatically activates the =pikttest built-in macro, which (might, but not necessarily) resolves to "Test".  So, for example, 'piktc -ievbU +A =alerts -H down sick' would install the alerts RED, EMERGENCY, and so on; while 'piktc -ievbTU +A =alerts -H down sick' would install REDTest, EMERGENCYTest, and so on.
