Upgrade attempt

Attempted to upgrade to beta 5 today and I am getting these errors. Solaris 8. Beta 4 works fine and a roll back is semi-working (missing the menu at the top, but that may be something I did wrong). Any help would be appreciated.

[hobbit] Hobbit 4.0 beta-5 available

Sorry for the long post, but figure its needed. Seems the id stuff is not fixed on Solaris. make setup fails with the output below. The attached diff patch should fix it. Thanks for the next beta.

make setup and upgrade
by ctbeers＠syr.edu 17 Jan '05

make setup will error out on the last line of the Makefile for hobbitd. Seems there should be a condition on wether the link exists to start hobbit. cd /usr/local/hobbit/server; ln -sf bin/starthobbit.sh . ln: cannot create ./starthobbit.sh: File exists make[1]: *** [setup] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/source/hobbit-4.0-beta5/hobbitd' make: *** [setup] Error 2 -- Christopher T.

Disable message not being added to status for disabled hosts/services?
by jonescr＠cisco.com 16 Jan '05

When using bb+maint.pl, when you disable a host you get the blue dot, and if you click on the dot you see why it was disabled, by who, and for how long, example: ===== blue Fri Jan 7 15:00:00 2005 OFFLINE UNTIL Fri Dec 1 15:00:00 2006 997920 minutes (99 weeks) Disabled by: cjones at x.x.x.x Reason: Indefinitely offline ===== I notice that when you disable a host with hobbit, if you click the blue dot it does not have that info, and just has basically the last status received. Is there a configuration option to have the disabled info similar to bb+maint.pl ? Thanks, -Charles

[hobbit] Hosts have disappeared

The hobbitd executable is available: http://gthiesfeld.homelinux.org/download/hobbitd I have 6 hosts. Thanks, -----Original Message----- From: Henrik Stoerner [mailto:henrik at hswn.dk] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 5:41 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] Hosts have disappeared OK, it's past midnight here and I need to get some sleep, but since it seems that your setup triggers this easily I'll start with your dump tomorrow and see what I can find. If you could make the hobbitd executable available for download also, that would be nice. How many hosts do you have, approximately ?

So could you please try killing hobbitd with a > "kill -ABRT <hobbitd-PID>" ? That should cause it to core-dump. To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk
