All the new features sound great. It also sounds like nearly everyone has additional features they would like to see...do you use any sort of tool for tracking feature requests?
P.S. I might as well throw in my own feature request ;-)
- Content check should correctly follow 302 (redirects). I currently have to use a custom-made script that uses curl in order to do content checks. In fact, I will include it in case anyone wants to use it:
#!/bin/bash
contchk.sh written by Charles Jones (blazer0x at gmail.com) 6/6/2007
This script is designed to perform a content check on a URL and report the
status to a Hobbit server.
This script was created because Hobbits built-in content check
functionality
does not follow 302 redirects.
The script parses out a "contchk" tag in the bb-hosts file. The proper
syntax is: contchk;URL;REFERRER;CHECKSTRING
Note that CHECKSTRING cannot contain spaces so you must use regular
expression metacharacters, so use something like string.with.spaces
BBHTAG=contchk # Name of the tag in bb-hosts COLUMN=cont # Column display name in Hobbit CURL=/usr/bin/curl # Location of curl binary CURLOPTS="--connect-timeout 30 -m 30 -s -L -b cookiejar" # Curl options
Note: using grep because bbhostgrep fails on long lines
grep $BBHTAG $BBHOME/etc/bb-hosts | while read L
do
set $L # To get one line of output from bbhostgrep
HOSTIP="$1"
MACHINEDOTS="$2"
MACHINE=echo $2 | $SED -e's/\./,/g'
CHECKURL=echo $4 | awk -F";" '{print $2}' # Parse out the
check URL
REFERRER=echo $4 | awk -F";" '{print $3}' # Parse out the
referrer string
if [ "" != "$REFERRER" ];
then
REFERRER="-e $REFERRER"
fi
CHECKSTRING=echo $4 | awk -F";" '{print $4}' # Parse out the
check string
$CURL $CURLOPTS $REFERRER $CHECKURL |grep -q "$CHECKSTRING"
status=$? # Save greps return status
if [ 0 -eq $status ]; then # grep returns 0 if it found something
