Henrik, This is pretty minor, but when do you expect to rev the hobbit client? The current version seems a bit shaky on the compile. Are you planning on changing the paradigm used by the bb clients (i.e. collection of scripts calling 'bb')?
The hobbit client is actually developed by Emanuel Dreyfus; I haven't been involved in it (and actually haven't had the time to look at it in much detail).
I know Emanuel has focused solely on a NetBSD client, so unless you are compiling on that platform you probably will run into problems.
The client as it is now is very different from the BB client, as you have noticed. Whether that is a good idea or not remains to be seen; there are certainly benefits in having the client be a compiled program that talks directly to the OS level without having to handle specific text output that differs from one OS to another - or even from one version of the OS to another.
I still think it is essential that there is some sort of extension mechanism like the BB client has. There are simply a lot of things out there that you guys want to monitor, and a fixed un-customizable client just won't cut it. So that is one thing that needs to be added
I second you.
to the current hobbitclient.
OR may be one that is architecturally close to hobbit server
