[hobbit] Hobbit Program

Some server side scripts that get a list of tests from the files via grep can be changed from something like this: $GREP snmp $BBHOME/etc/bb-hosts | grep -v "^#" |

To something like this: $BBHOME/bin/bbhostgrep --bbnet --no-down snmp |

All,

I seem recall reading about a program within Hobbit that can be called from external scripts to poll the status of a client before the execution of a script. Basically if the client is down then the external script would be written that it simply reports clear or whatever status color is warranted without having to go through some alternative method of checking for client availability before execution.

I looked through the documentation and didn¹t see it in there, but swear that I have seen something like this before.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Robert
