I realised earlier that the disabletime value coming from hobbitdboard is actually a unix timestamp, but the disable command wants a duration in the form of seconds, minutes or hours. Again, this works with Ubuntu, and probably any other Linux, but maybe not in a different Unix. It relies on the GNU date command, for a start... :)
========== putblues.sh ========== #!/bin/sh
. /home/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
cat $1 | while read line
do
OFS="$IFS"
IFS="|"
set $line
IFS="$OFS"
if [ "$3" -eq "-1" ]; then
# found "disable until OK"
lifetime="-1"
else
now=`date +%s`
lifetime=`$EXPR $3 - $now`
if [ "$lifetime" -le "0" ]; then
# this one expired, ignore it
continue
else
lifetime="$lifetime"s

msg=`echo "$4" | $SED -e 's/\\\n/\n/g'`
$BB localhost "disable $1.$2 $lifetime $msg"

In Ralph Mitchell (ralphmitchell at gmail.com) reply email, There are getblue.sh and putblue.sh to do the collecting on primary and populating on DR/standby hobbit server.
I tired it but I found the putblue.sh is not working. I still can't see the same list of maintenance hosts between the twos, even the get and put blue shell ran sucessfully.
This may caused by lacking of running bbpage alert module on DR/Secondary module. Is your DR hobbit server has alert module disabled and your script still works ?
Would you mind to send to the list or send it to my email account ? I like to learn how you did it.
As I said, I only tried it in Ubuntu, so I would expect it to work in any Linux distribution. I'm still setting up other servers in VMware for fooling around with this kind of thing. What OS do you have??
