Catalina,
Look at the command at the end of the following script. 
The fold command controls the number of characters to display per line, in
this case 30.
The purpose of this script was to prevent a flood of red beeping windows
-bg sets the background color to hotpink
Note: the single tics are back-ticks (on the tilde key) not single quotes!

Is it possible to change the window size and number of lines in the message
of the popup window?
 
I changed the fonts and title bar in /usr/OV/app-defaults/Xnm but can not
find where to change the window size.
 
I also tried setting the parameter -geometry WWWxLLLL but it didnot work.
The font also seems to remain the same.
 
I tried using the \n in the message but it did not work.  Any ideas?  see
below (I am using Exceed)
 
port=`echo $2 | tr '/' '.'`
portname=`/usr/OV/bin/snmpget $1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.4.$port`
#echo 'Port name =' ${portname##*:}
name=${portname##*:}
prefix=`echo $name | cut -c 1-3`
if test "$prefix" = "NET"
  then
      /usr/OV/bin/ovxbeep -b 10 -geometry 100x50-0-0 -display CMartinez:0.0
"$1 $name is DOWN"&
      echo $1 $name | mail -s "CORE DEVICE DOWN" CMartinez
 
  exit
