hobbit-alerts config and PAGE definition
by sblee＠tazmania.org 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

How does the syntax work in the hobbit-alerts.cfg for the PAGE directive if multiple pages are to be defined? In our environment, the bb-hosts file contains an entry for itself followed by x number of "include" lines. Each included file then contains some number of "page" directives. I don't think PAGE=/ will work here. What would be the right to define PAGE=pagea,pageb,pagec

The current version requires that you hand-edit the "runclient.sh" script to set the OS type. Next version will let you provide that as a command-line option to the runclient script. Henrik

Confirmed that this is a bug in all current Hobbit versions. It will be fixed in 4.1.2 - you can pick up the latest snapshot for a working version. Henrik

It just annoys everyone. Some of them get caught by the moderation system, but some do slip through.

R: [hobbit] bb-hostedit v1.1 beta released

Hi, I'm starting to try to use the bb-hostedit tool because I need that other people without unix knowledge can manipulate the bb-hosts file to edit it and configure new client/test. I've a problem with pageset. bb-hostedit don't recognize them so i get errors when he load the file. For example i get a "Syntax error: inetpage Web Web Servers" It's possible in a future version to have pagesets work with bb-hostedit (if not to edit them at least to leave them where they are)? Thanks for the real good work.
