Thanks Now it work. The only problem is that the url for the subpages generated, link to my root html directory my hobbit server is accessible on http://myserver.it/hobbit/ i set BBWEB="/nal" so the alternate pages generated are accessible on http://myserver.it/hobbit/nal/ but the link from the index/nal point to http://myserver.it/nal/ Also the page/subpage info are referred to the path where are located on the general view http://myserver.it/system/nal/ Marco ----- Original Message ----- From: <Larry.Barber at usda.gov> To: <hobbit at hswn.dk> Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 8:04 PM Subject: Re: [hobbit] alternate pageset > You need to put bb-display.sh in the CMD line in hobbitlaunch.cfg.

[hobbit] Hobbit 4.0 RC3

Hey All, I don't know if i've hit a bug but my situation is like this: Extraction of hobbit-alerts.cfg HOST=%B2B* SCRIPT /usr/local/pager/sms 1234567890 color=red format=sms time=*:0700:2359 repeat=120m It seems hobbit interprets as follows: It takes every line and uses the first part of the line correctly but does something wrong on the second part of the line, or it might just be the user that's doing something wrong ... Service Recipient 1st Delay Stop after Repeat Time of Day Colors bgp 1234567890 - - 30m - red format=sms - - 30m - purple,yellow,red conn 1234567890 - - 30m - red format=sms - - 30m - purple,yellow,red mem 1234567890 - - 30m - red format=sms - - 30m - purple,yellow,red Anyone any suggestions ?

Possible enable/disable bug?
by Kevin.Hanrahan＠novainfo.com 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

This weekend was our scheduled maint. weekend so I disabled all the servers during that time. I set the duration for 9 hours and after that time expired the servers all came back into service but the blus enable/disable page still shows all the servers as currently disabled. Two other pieces of data: 1) I disabled by selecting - ALL : ALL 2) The "Offline Until" column no longer has a date or time in it Anybody else seen this?

[hobbit] Disk space alerts
by craig＠cookitservices.com 22 Feb '05

22 Feb '05

Yet another way to deal with multiple file systems... Pull the data out of the rrd files, then take action based on what you find. This will involve disk reads though, so it would slow hobbit down. The latest beta of RRD has some interesting predictive failure features in it. Look for info on Holt-Winters and RRD 1.1.x Craig Cook -- Big Brother Consulting and Training Services www.cookitservices.com

[hobbit] Alert macro syntax

When you use macros, you must remember that it's purely a text substitution. If you did not use macros, you'd write the rule as HOST=%server1|server2|server3 So to do that with a macro, the macro must be defined exactly like that. Thus: $GROUP1=%server1|server2|server3 $SYSADMIN=kevin at domain.com HOST=$GROUP1 MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red REPEAT=15m RECOVERED Henrik To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk Note: The information contained in this email and in any attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

You need to put bb-display.sh in the CMD line in hobbitlaunch.cfg. Then put the command to start bbgen in bb-display.sh.

sorry

Hi Henrik, I'm sorry that I answered before looking. It seems like there's no HOME set for some reason. I have been checking everything but only looked BBHOME.

That my outside address. Hobbit will always do a DNS loookup on the hostname to find the IP of your host - the IP in bb-hosts is only a fall-back measure. If you want to force network tests to use the IP from bb-hosts, then add the "testip" keyword to the bb-hosts line, or run bbtest-net with "--dns=ip" > xgetenv: Cannot find value for variable HOME This is unrelated, but it's an odd Unix system that does not have the HOME environment variable defined ...

Hi again, Off course HOME is set, but perhaps it's wrong. Should it be Hobbits home ie /home/hobbit or the users home, that was set during installation /home/bb/bb?

Hi again, suddenly I thought of that I had changed the DNS-database this morning (I'm looking at Postfix on the same machine). So I changed that back, and suddenly the odd problem with the IP-address was solved. Regarding the problem with bbtest. Having a look at the History page, the timebar shows green, but the columns are not updated, neither the main view. Well I have difficulties to explain.
