On Solaris 9 hobbit 4.1.2 and RedHat 4 hobbit 4.2 I ran trimhistory and noticed the next day that no events were listed at the bottom of the bb2 page. Working on my 4.2 test system I found hist/allevents stopped updating after running trimhistory. Restarting hobbit got it working again. Hobbit should not require any additional restarts after running trimhistory or it should be mentioned in the man page.
I think you're right about this. The hobbitd_history module keeps the "allevents" file open while it is running, so trimhistory needs to signal that it should re-open the new (truncated) file. Killing hobbitd_history (it restarts automatically) fixes this, but that shouldn't be needed.
