Problems supressing yellow alerts
by EES2Y＠hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

Howdy all, I wanted to see if anybody else had any experience /w this before I go poking at code. I've got a test (called 'if_load') that I want to suppress yellow alerts for. Now I've tried three methods for doing this: . using the 'NOPROPYELLOW:if_load' explicity for each host. . using 'NOPROPYELLOW:if_load' in conjunction with a .default. host statement . using --nopropyellow=if_load in the bbgen cmd line in hobbitlaunch.cfg In the first two cases, I get a "Suppressed warnings (yellow): if_load" in the 'info' screen of all defined hosts. When using --nopropyellow method, I dont even get a msg in the info screen (even after restarting hobbit). Regardless of which method I use, yellow alerts for if_load still trickle upwards to the bb2 screen. Anybody seen anything like that? Regards, -Eric

[hobbit] bb-hostedit v1.1 beta released

Oops. Looks like I already found a bug (users with a .default. host defined will notice a one-off problem whenever they try to modify anything). The patch is here: http://www.nerdvana.org/eric/files/bb-hostedit-1.2b-arrpos-patch or you can just re-download the 1.2b tarball, which is fixed. -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Schwimmer, Eric E *HS [mailto:EES2Y at hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu] Sent: Tue 7/26/2005 2:37 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: RE: [hobbit] bb-hostedit v1.1 beta released Sorry about that!

Great, thanks. I don't see that documented in the listing of variables passed to the script in 4.04.

COLOR value in custom notification script
by Robert.Taylor＠HendrickAuto.com 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

Henrik, Previously in Big Brother we would have access to the BBCOLORVALUE variable for custom notification scripts. I was using this to set the background color as well as the subject line for the notifications that would go out. I know that I can access this through a query of the bb program, but was wondering if it is possible to make that variable available to the custom notification scripts some other way? Thanks, Robert

hobbit 4.1.1 on hpux 11.11
by cits.bogajewski＠daimlerchrysler.com 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

Hello folks, Hi Henrik, i am trying to get the newest hobbit 4.1.1 on hpux running. Unfortunatelly so long without success.. The compilation succeed, but following warnings appears. I cant remember to have seen them while compiling the 4.0.x series, so maybe you should take a look... sounds like it could be important :) --------------------------------------------------- sendmsg.c: In function `sendtobbd': sendmsg.c:320: warning: passing arg 5 of `getsockopt' from incompatible pointer type ../lib/sendmsg.c: In function `sendtobbd': ../lib/sendmsg.c:320: warning: passing arg 5 of `getsockopt' from incompatible pointer type ../lib/sendmsg.c: In function `sendtobbd': ../lib/sendmsg.c:320: warning: passing arg 5 of `getsockopt' from incompatible pointer type contest.c: In function `do_tcp_tests': contest.c:949: warning: passing arg 5 of `getsockopt' from incompatible pointer type hobbitd.c: In function `get_config': hobbitd.c:1616: warning: passing arg 1 of `addtobuffer' from incompatible pointer type --------------------------------------------------- After installation and start of hobbit daemon nothing realy happens.. So nothing appears on the webpage, neither the hobbit server itself, nor random client i configure for test purposes...

writing to /usr?
by dan.mcdonald＠austinenergy.com 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

I installed hobbit 4.1.1, saw that it was working, and ignored it for a few hours... Then I saw purples for the client tests.. checking /var/log/hobbit/hobbitclient.log showed: /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh: line 17: /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.txt: Permission denied /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh: line 18: /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.txt: Permission denied /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/hobbitclient.sh: line 19: /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.txt: No such file or directory Sure enough, /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp was not writable by the hobbit user. But, shouldn't things like that be written to /var instead of /usr? Of course, now that it can write things, it's complaining about something else (can't read the /proc directory, since I run Mandriva in paranoid mode....) -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE # 2495, CNX, CISSP # 78281 Austin Energy dan.mcdonald at austinenergy.com
