I have also experienced this issue as well. Both server versions v4.1.1 and v4.1.2 have exhibited this odd behavior. As a quick workaround for the external scripts, I've moved them to ~/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg and had good results. However the missing logs/missing PID file seems to be a problem.
Otherwise, many thanks to Henrick for an **excellent** product.

When running the server and client on a machine, the startup of the server also includes starting the client.(To reduce the hobbitlaunch tasks)
However, the client in this scenario does not write its logs or pid file to the normal client directories and ignores the clientlaunch.cfg which details any external scripts to be run.
You cannot stop the client cleanly as there is no pid file and therefore the ./runclient.sh stop says the client is not running.
