[hobbit] Hobbit vs Nagios

The problem is that these machines are the only ones of their type. Or I would do what you suggest...

does not have to be compiled. Don't know if this is true, but it would sure help me out if there was a "Perl-only" or "Perl+shell" client that I could use on the one or two systems where I cannot install all the junk needed to compile a Hobbit client binary. Binary Perl distributions that just drop in are usually available... I know there would be a performance hit, but I would rather have a more expensive-to-run client than no client.

You should be able to statically compile the client on another

machine that is the same OS, and then copy it to the target machine. Perhaps Henrik could add a --static option to the configure so that you wouldn't have to hack the Makefile to do it..
