[hobbit] Script Delay

All,

Is there a way to write a script in such a way that it only reports in once a day (I know how to do this part), and then tell hobbit not to turn that test purple for 24 hours after it receives that last status?

Al,

Sure, just append the number of seconds to your status message (in the format of "+seconds" see example below). Hobbit will then not turn purple unless that time expires and no further status messages have been received.

$BB $BBDISP "status+86400 $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR date &green This is a green message that won't expire for 24 hours."
