Henrik,
You got me on the right track. Here is what I have done to get this to work like I wanted:
My external test "modemtest.sh" contains: #!/bin/sh BBLOCATION=modem bbtest-net --dns=ip
My hobbitlaunch.cfg has this added: [modemtests] ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD $BBHOME/ext/modemtest.sh LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/modemtest.log INTERVAL 15m
I added BBLOCATION="standard" and added the -test-untagged option to bbnet.
I added a new service to bb-services: [faxmodem] send "AT\r\n" expect "OK" options telnet
My bb-hosts file contains lines like this for the modems: 192.168.9.222 labfax1 # NET:modem faxmodem:3001 noconn
So far it seems to be working pretty well. I started out with --debug in my external test to see what was actually happening. That was a big help!
I'll probably keep messing around with this for a while to make sure it is really doing what it appears to be doing.
Next I want to get the bbretest-net.sh working. I'll try to figure that part out on my own. <grin>
Thanks a bunch! This is great!

You can use the "NET:..." definition in the bb-hosts file to split up your network tests into two groups: Those that are for the modems, and all the others. First setup your modem tests as a separate group of tests:
- Change the entries in your bb-hosts file for these modems and add "NET:modem"
- Create a script ~hobbit/server/ext/modemtest with: #!/bin/sh BBLOCATION=modem bbtest-net --ping --check-response Remember to make it executable (chmod 755 ...)
- Add a new section to the ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg file to run this script once an hour: [modemtests] ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD $BBHOME/ext/modemtest LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/modemtest.log INTERVAL 1h
This runs your modem tests once an hour. Now, you also want to NOT run them together with the standard network tests. To do that:
- Change ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg and add BBLOCATION="standard" This makes the BBLOCATION setting be "standard" by default.
- Change the CMD line in the [bbnet] section in hobbitlaunch.cfg and add the --test-untagged option: [bbnet] ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --test-untagged LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log INTERVAL 5m The --test-untagged option means that there is an implicit "NET:standard" definition on all entries in the bb-hosts file, which do not have an explicit NET:... definition.
