Hi,
every "checkpoint-interval" i get a new hobbitd zombie process.
#> ps auxwww ----snip --- hobbit 25559 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 11:06 0:00 [hobbitd] <defunct> hobbit 25917 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 11:16 0:00 [hobbitd] <defunct> hobbit 26283 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 11:26 0:00 [hobbitd] <defunct> hobbit 26648 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? Z 11:36 0:00 [hobbitd] <defunct> ----snip ---
hobbitlaunch.cfg: [hobbitd] section:
CMD hobbitd --debug --pidfile=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.pid --restart=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-file=$BBTMP/hobbitd.chk --checkpoint-interval=600 --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitd.log --admin-senders=127.0.0.1,$BBSERVERIP
... the last zombie appears at 11:36 ..., this is the hobbitd.log (debug mode) - look's good, i think ;-)

This happens on Debian LINUX 3.1 'Sarge'. Analog config on different Solaris 8 SPARC Boxes => no problem.
On the Debian box, i have DISABLED bbdisplay in hobbitlaunch.cfg, because this box should only act as a kind of LAN probe (only bb-net and forwarding of LAN client stati to a central bbdisplay) No big issue (my next step: increase the checkpoint interval ;-) - but maybe someone else may run into trouble.
