Works fine on the servers I have tried. Makes for a consistent command set to start and stop the client when needed. lurch at inorbit.com -------Original Message------- From: Camelia Anghel <mailto:canghel at cjh.org> Date: 09/14/09 16:24:27 To: hobbit at hswn.dk Subject: [hobbit] client startup script for Solaris10 or Linux Hello everyone, Does anyone has a startup script for Solaris 10 or Linux?

[hobbit] bb-prtdiag.sh - Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 Server
by Craig.Cook＠carquest.com 15 Sep '09

Did you review the instructions in the top of the script? Including the tip you may need to run nawk? I thought these were in the readme.txt but it is missing. They have been in the script since version 4.11. I thought hobbitmon/xymon debug instructions were also included. I'll add them in the next release. # INSTALLATION - Hobbitmon # # Step 1 - Copy this script to $HOBBITCLIENT/ext/bb-prtdiag.sh # Ensure your hobbit user owns the script and is executable (chown) # # Step 2 - Add the lines mentioned in the bbsys.local section to # $HOBBITCLIENT/etc/hobbitclient.cfg # Note: You may have to hard code the # PLATFORM_SPEC & PRTDIAG_COMMAND variables, or # do not enter it in hobbitclient.cfg # You may also need to use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or /usr/bin/nawk # # Step 3 - Add this: # # [prtdiag] # ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg # CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/bb-prtdiag.sh # LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/bb-prtdiag.log # INTERVAL 5 # # to $HOBBITCLIENT/etc/clientlaunch.cfg # # You do not need to restart hobbit to activate Craig

[hobbit] bb-prtdiag.sh - Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 Server
by Craig.Cook＠carquest.com 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

>I am having truble with the bb-prtdiag script on "Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 Server " and also "SUNW,UltraAX-i2" hardware. Always saying something is wrong when I cant see anything wrong? The M9000 has not explicitly been added for support. Check the readme with the bb-prtdiag tar file for how to run the built in debug. There is also information in the comment section at the top of the script. Support for UltraAX-i2 has been added, run debug to find out why/where it is complaining. >bb-prtdiag is a very simple test. It looks at the return code of the prtdiag command. No. bb-prtdiag does not look at the return code from running prtdiag. If you want a simple prtdiag check there is another one on deadcat. Craig

DOWNTIME for Non-Network tests
by thorsten.erdmann＠daimler.com 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, can I somehow tell Hobbit to ignore bad test results in certain times, like the DOWNTIME tag does for network tests? e.g. I do some Oracle database tests and shutdown the databases on weekends for backup. I don't want this planned downtime to appear in the Non-Green-Systems View and in the Availability reports. Maybe I can "missuse" the badTEST tag somehow? Thanks Thorsten Erdmann If you are not the intended addressee, please inform us immediately that you have received this e-mail in error, and delete it. We thank you for your cooperation.
