OK, ...thanks for the reply... I tried that, I think.

I made a custom script for checking domain registration expiration dates and I am calling it from hobbitlaunch as such:

[Domain Registration]
    CMD /home/hobbit/server/ext/ext-domainname.sh
    INTERVAL 1400m

I am passing the status of the test (using an allready existing BB test) like this:

#  Get Status proc - used to get all responses

get_status() { DaysLeft=$PROBE $1 RESULT="OK: Remaining days - $DaysLeft" COLOR="green"

if [ "$DaysLeft" != "Record not found" ] then if [ "$DaysLeft" -le "$DAYSLEFTWARN" ] then RESULT="WARNING: Remaining days - $DaysLeft" COLOR="yellow" fi if [ "$DaysLeft" -le "$DAYSLEFTERROR" ] then RESULT="ERROR: Remaining days - $DaysLeft" COLOR="red" fi else RESULT="ERROR: $DaysLeft" COLOR="red" fi echo "$COLOR+1430m date $RESULT"

}

Main body

$GREP "$TEST" $BBHOSTS | while read line; do TESTNAME=echo "$line" | awk '{print $2}' STATUS=get_status $TESTNAME if [ ! -z "$STATUS" ] then # NOW USE THE BB COMMAND TO SEND THE DATA ACROSS SDISPLAY="status $TESTNAME.$TEST $STATUS" echo "$SDISPLAY" >> /tmp/ext-domainname.output $BB $BBDISP "$SDISPLAY" fi done

After 30 minutes it always goes purple! I thought I was adding 1430 minutes to the result time...am I wrong?

I am no coder so please be patient but I could use some direction here please.

Thank you

kevin

Can anybody tell me how to get a test to avoid purples if it is only run once a day?  Thanks

As Hobbit doesn't have it's own client (yet!), I'll assume it understands all of the standard bb client options.

If you read the help pages on the bb4.org site

Or do a "man bb".

Except I hadn't gotten around to describing the full syntax of the status command. It's in there now.

When you call the bb client executable from your script, change "status" to "status+1440" in the message header for the lifetime to be 24 hours.

Hobbit also accepts "status+25h"
