That may help, but remember, if a host is only tested every 5 minutes, and you update your page every minute, your bb2 page is at most 60 seconds out of date, but usually much closer.
If you must, for some reason, update manually, you COULD run it manually via the bbcmd, if I'm thinking this through correctly. It would be something like:
/path/to/hobbit/bin/bbcmd /path/to/hobbit/bin/bbgen
I was configuring hobbit-client.cfg to setup disk partitions thresholds on many machines, thus the need to see the bb2.html be updated as soon as possible. Thanks for this tip, I will try it out later.

Where /path/to/hobbit/ is the path just below your etc directory where you have your bb-hosts and hobbitlaunch.cfg

My bbdisplay is already configured to have 1 minute update interval, it is on bb2.html is still updated every 5 minutes.
"bbdisplay" runs the bbgen tool to generate the Hobbit webpages from the status information that
has been received. Big Brother updated the webpages once every 5 minutes. The default here is to
run it every minute for faster updates, but you can change it if you have a highly loaded server
and dont need updates that often.
[bbdisplay] ENVFILE /etc/hobbitserver42/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd GROUP generators CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-display.log INTERVAL 1m
I do remember there is a option somewhere is hobbit man page that can set "dynamic, on demand " update.

If desired I know you can change it. One of the configs in server/etc - if you can't find it let me know, I can look later tonight.

Looks like bb2.html is updated every 5 minutes, what is the command to generate bb2.html by command line ?
