Tell Hobbit about it

$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR date

You really need to put in status+5h instead of status for a 4 hour script. This tells the hobbit server not to expire the message for 5 hours.

${MSG} "

exit 0

And the following is our clientlocal.sh portion for this script:

LDAP Check - This command makes sure that this box is connected to

the MGS LDAP Server [ldap-con] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/getent.sh LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/ldap.log INTERVAL 4h

As can be seen, we have it running every 4 hours. The status check should be green, however, it goes to purple. Is there a way (and where/how) to change the default timeout for this, as I think the 4 hour time is making it puke.

Both these scripts are on the client side.
