Just write the script to parse the netstat output, then at the end decide if it's green or not and send a message to hobbit with the 'bb' command.

Subject: [hobbit] Best way to monitor static routing table entries?
Hello all,
I've been using Hobbit for a few years now, and it has always worked really well for me. Lately, I've added some more tests to certain servers, and one thing I'd like to do is detect the presence/absence of some static routes that are configured on a RHEL4 Linux box.
I could write a script that greps the output of "netstat -rn" and redirects it to a file. Hobbit could monitor the content of the file to make sure it matches some predefined template, I suppose, but is there a more elegant way?
I checked the BB script archive, and I found the bb-route extension, but it's either not the right solution or too complicated for what I want to do.
Any suggestions?
Thank you, Greg
