I'm surprised it worked initially. I had to add the following above the other use statements:
use lib "/usr/local/xymon/perl5";
which is where I copied the Hobbit.pm file. Unless /etc/perl is part of your Perl @INC path, it won't find it. I think I may even have tweaked everything that said hobbit/bb to say xymon.

Xymon Users & Admins,
I recently installed an apt check on my clients that I received from this hobbit-plugins package: https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hobbit-plugins
Steps for Installation:
- Copy over client-ext/apt script to client/ext/apt
- Gave xymon user rights to execute the apt script
- Copy over perl/Hobbit.pm to /etc/perl/Hobbit.pm
- Copy and pasted the lines found in clientlaunch.d/apt.cfg to the end of client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg and modified the paths(ENVFILE & LOGFILE) to fit my client's environment
The problem: I set this up last week on friday jan 11th. At that time I ran the client/ext/apt script as xymon user and it gave the report as expected. However, after the weekend the last report was the same one on the 11th so I am receiving a purple status for inactivity of the report. The clients are not automatically sending the apt check report to the server. Anything I missed in the installation or something I have to do server side?
Any response appreciated Thanks,
