It wouldn't surprise me that the problem is that ~ in mhaltmsg. Is that
actually being expanded? If you run send with -debug, do you maybe
see a message saying "$mhaltmsg mismatch"?
$ ( set -x ; x=~ true )
+ x=/a/rodmant
+ true
So bash expands ~ before send sees it.
But that may not be true for something that invokes execve() rather than
system(), or a cronjob (which is what started this discussion).
