Something on the network blew up, router or switch. Of course hobbit went purple. It was a Thursday afternoon and it was in the Network Gods hands at this point. They fixed it that night I had still had the purple condition in the morning. I checked both the server and clients (~100) and everything was running. I restarted both anyway and waited. Went home for the weekend. Came in Monday and still had the purple plague.
I assume your Hobbit webpages are being updated ? (Check the timestamp in the upper-right corner).
Is hobbitd_client running on the server ?
On one of the clients, login as the user running the HObbit client and run the "bbcmd" tool. You'll get a new shell prompt. Do an echo $BB echo $BBDISP and check that these point to the "bb" utility on the client, and the IP-address of your Hobbit server.
Then run $BB $BBDISP "ping" You should get a response back from the Hobbit server.o
Next, run $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.purpletest green Checking status"
This sends a "purpletest" status-message to the Hobbit server. If everything works OK, then you should get a "purpletest" status column (in color green) for this client host) the next time the Hobbit webpages are updated.
Let us know what you find out.
