That would be relative to Hobbit's bbtest I believe - someone correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just guessing here!
I don't see any reason to think that script wouldn't work with some variable
changes like BBNET=$GREP BBNET $BBHOSTS | $GREP "^[0-9]" | $GREP -v "^\#"
but I am not an expert by any means!
Getting back to the version 3.3 - after 1.9btf Quest starting selling the product. I don't know the exact history behind it but 1.9btf is what you get without paying for anything. I have worked with and continue to monitor a network with 3.1 or 3.2 (they decided to revert from 3.3 as it looks quite a bit different on the BBDISPLAY) and I honestly don't see what they've changed between 1.9 and 3.2. Most of the features of BB I heard of or read were not only already in Hobbit but were even better then what I had heard. Not to mention the dozens of BB scripts that can be relatively painless to migrate.

Well, bb being somewhat modular, there are 3 components: BBNET, BBPAGER, BBDISPLAY
BBNET is the component of bb that tests the network services/connectivity on the remote hosts.

I see now - you've a redundant BBNET. I haven't used BB in several weeks and I never got really complex with it - a lot of ping tests was what I needed out of it. Can you explain what BBNET is?

Well, no need to enter anything manually. We have on each bigbrother server a page with links to all the other bb servers, and I'm sure the support folks have links bookmarked, so if the DC1 data center is down, then instead of clicking on e.g. dc1bbdata, they'd click on dc2bbdata. Normally the 2 bb display servers in each pair provide an identical view, so this only matters in the event of an outage.

Sure, I can post the entire script - it's in the attachment - Joe To unsubscribe from the hobbit list, send an e-mail to hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk <mailto:hobbit-unsubscribe at hswn.dk>-- Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373
