I fear I might have done something awful... I was looking to upgrade our hobbit to the latest snapshot but when I trying to access http://aixmgmt01/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOST=aixmgmt01&SERVICE=disk which is one of our service monitors I am not getting a menu at the top of the page. However I am getting a link bb_footer written at the bottom of the web page. Any ideas? James Roberts
