[hobbit] bb-prtdiag.sh

Josh, Mike is correct, it sounds like you need to edit the client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg file and put: UNAME="/opt/sfw/bin/uname" in there, changing the path to the location of your uname program. Mind you, I don't have the UNAME variable defined in my Hobbit client, which is from Hobbit v4.2.0. |\/|artin -- > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Rowell [mailto:Mike.Rowell at Rightmove.co.uk] > Sent: 07 January 2008 22:28 > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: RE: [hobbit] bb-prtdiag.sh > > > Josh, > > I believe there is a read me or maybe it's in the comments of > the file but there are some entries that need to be added to > I believe hobbitclient.cfg which are some of the bits that > are saying not defined in etc/bbsys.local, I'm at home at the > moment, but I'll take a look at our bb-prtdiag.sh script > tommorow and see what we reset to get it working properly in hobbit. > > regards, > > Mike > > ________________________________ > > From: Joshua Krause [mailto:forums at triadbiz.rr.com] > Sent: Mon 07/01/2008 22:08 > To: hobbit at hswn.dk > Subject: [hobbit] bb-prtdiag.sh > > > > I am trying to get the bb-prtdiag.sh script to work on a > couple of Solaris boxes and didn't know if I could get some > help from someone in the forum that has it up and running. > Currently I am trying to get it to run on a V880 and I am > getting this error in the log file: > > > > -bash-3.00$ more bb-prtdiag.log > > awk: syntax error near line 1 > > awk: bailing out near line 1 > > > > and on the hobbit page I am seeing this: > > > > UNAME command is not defined in etc/bbsys.local - using > default: /sbin/uname > > > > > yellow<https://lo-mail.rightmove.com/exchange/mike.rawell/Draf > ts/RE:%20[hobbit]%20bb-prtdiag.sh.EML/1_multipart/image001.gif > > PLATFORM_SPEC command is not defined in etc/bbsys.local - > using default: SUNW,Sun-Fire-880 > > > > > yellow<https://lo-mail.rightmove.com/exchange/mike.rawell/Draf > ts/RE:%20[hobbit]%20bb-prtdiag.sh.EML/1_multipart/image001.gif > > PRTDIAG_COMMAND command is not defined in etc/bbsys.local > - using default: /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-880/sbin/prtdiag > > > > > yellow<https://lo-mail.rightmove.com/exchange/mike.rawell/Draf > ts/RE:%20[hobbit]%20bb-prtdiag.sh.EML/1_multipart/image001.gif > > PRTDIAG_OPT command is not defined in etc/bbsys.local - > using default: -v > > > > > yellow<https://lo-mail.rightmove.com/exchange/mike.rawell/Draf > ts/RE:%20[hobbit]%20bb-prtdiag.sh.EML/1_multipart/image001.gif > > EXCLUDE_SYSTEMS command is not defined in etc/bbsys.local > - using default: Ultra-1 Ultra-2 Ultra-5_10 Ultra-30 Ultra-60 > Ultra-80 UltraAX-i2 UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine Sun-Fire Netra-T4 > UltraAX-e2 Ultra-Enterprise-10000 > > > > > yellow<https://lo-mail.rightmove.com/exchange/mike.rawell/Draf > ts/RE:%20[hobbit]%20bb-prtdiag.sh.EML/1_multipart/image001.gif > > PRTDIAG_IGNORE_ERRORS variable is not defined in > etc/bbsys.local - using default: No failures|Most recent AC > Power Failure|Minimum Available|CS Fail|No Hardware > failures|^===|currently no Boards|Fault Fan > > > > > yellow<https://lo-mail.rightmove.com/exchange/mike.rawell/Draf > ts/RE:%20[hobbit]%20bb-prtdiag.sh.EML/1_multipart/image001.gif > > PRTDIAG_IGNORE_FAULTS variable is not defined in > etc/bbsys.local - using default: No Recent System Faults > found|No System Faults found|Fault Value|Fault > LED|NO_FAULT|Power Fault|Status Fault|Fault off > > > > > > And I don't believe I have a program called "fjprtdiag" and > it looks to be a necessary component. > > > > Thanks, > > > > Josh > > > ______________________________________________________________ > __________ > This email has been scanned for all viruses by the > MessageLabs service. > > > ______________________________________________________________ > __________ > This email has been scanned for all viruses by the > MessageLabs service. > ______________________________________________________________ > __________ > ************************************************************************************* The message is intended for the named addressee only and may not be disclosed to or used by anyone else, nor may it be copied in any way.

bb-datepage.cgi update for 2008 ?
by frederic.mangeant＠steria.com 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hello Henrik I can't use availability reports with Hobbit 4.1.2p1 (but it seems the problem occurs also with your demo site) for 2008. When running http://xx.xx.xx.xx/hobbit-cgi/bb-datepage.sh?type=week, I can only choose from 2002 to 2007. I've searched in bb-datepage.c, but didn't find anything relevant... Do you have a clue ? Thanks in advance ! -- Frédéric Mangeant Steria EDC Sophia Antipolis

[hobbit] Oversize data/client msg
by Chris.Morris＠RWEsystemsUK.com 07 Jan '08

You need to stop the hobbit server, use the ipcs -m command to check the shared memory has been released and then restart the hobbit server and the problem should be resolved.

change alert email text?
by sgardne＠uark.edu 07 Jan '08

Hello, Sorry if this is horribly ignorant. I'm rather new to the whole network administration biz. I've got alerts functioning nicely, but I'd like to change the text of the email that's sent out. Is there a cfg file somewhere I'm missing that I could edit? Thank you, -Scott

trouble with SCRIPT directive
by khanrahan＠charter.net 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hi all, This might seem long winded but I wanted to describe the problem in detail and see if anyone could help please. I am trying to make use of the SCRIPT function in hobbit-alerts.cfg I am trying to send snmp traps from hobbit to another receiver using a utility called trapgen and I think the syntax of SCRIPT and trapgen are getting in each others way. SCRIPT seems to have this syntax: SCRIPT <program> <recipient> <options> And trapgen has this syntax: trapgen -d destination <options> So, when I try to assemble it, it has this form: SCRIPT /home/hobbit/server/ext/trapgen -d 10.10.0.13 <options> I get an error in the page.log that says trapgen needs at least a destination specified as: trapgen -d IPADDRESS ..but it DOES have a destination!!! It seems that the SCRIPT directive is intercepting the "-d IPADDRESS" and interpreting it as it's own "recipient" directive.?? Is there a way around this? Is there a way to ignore the "recipient" directive using SCRIPT? Thanks for any ideas KEvin

[hobbit] 4.3 4release
by bewhite＠fellowes.com 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

Josh, Sorry, I was under the impression this forum was for asking question about hobbit and that was my question. I have posted the question exactly twice. He never responded to the first and thought maybe he didn't see it. My question was posted months after the topic first arose here with lots of people asking the same question. In fact, if you check there is a long thread on this topic which also contains people posting additions they want to see in the new release. I'm sorry I offended Henrik - If you have felt badgered, my sincere apology. I have the greatest respect for you and want you have accomplished. Hobbit has been a remarkable and invaluable tool. -----Original Message----- From: Josh Luthman [mailto:josh at imaginenetworksllc.com] Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2007 5:28 PM To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: Re: [hobbit] 4.3 4release Honestly I believe asking when the release of 4.3 is going to be is bothering all of the regulars. The question does nothing but this and more then likely delay the release date. Let Henrik do what he does well and be patient please.
