I give up. I am going mad trying to hobbitize BB-Central. Too complicated for a non-author to rewrite without more details. Sorry for those who were looking forward to BB-Central-For-Hobbit version 1.0.
Instead of rewriting something I didn't write, don't know, requires BB Client, and think is way to complicated for my feeble brain, I have created HobbitCentral Version 0.1a. In its very early state, it consists of a C program called ipxfer, a script called hobcen.sh, a config file called hobcen.cfg and a data file called xfer.dat.
I am deploying initially to my remote HP-UX servers and will figure out how to release the HP-UX version when I am satisfied that it works well enough for an initial release. I have only written free software for the FlightSim community so I will have to learn how to do it for the real world.
I will tweak it for Linux after I have released the HP version.
Updates as they become available. Tim

I'll play around with it a bit more and see if I can get it running.
Well, this one has me stumped.
Getting it to run was pretty easy, but it appears to be rather broken.
The main script bb-central.pl generates bb-central.sh, which has the commands needed to login to a remote system via ssh and retrieve data. The only problem is that it generates an ssh command that just logs in; then it sits there in an interactive session and does nothing.
As far as I can see, the perl-script should add the commands needed to collect the data, but it doesn't. I even tried setting it up to run under a BB client, and it gives me the same problem.
I think I'll post to the BB list and see if the author has some idea about what's going on.
