[hobbit] hobbit, file and bbwin question

Robert,

I too have never been able to get this to work. The BBWin 0.11 release notes say it is supposed to, but I've had no luck. My clientlocal.cfg and hobbit-client.cfg look similar to yours. I've tried slashes, doublebackslashes, quotes, etc but it always shows up as "no files monitored".

It sounds like you are one step ahead of me since your clientlocal.cfg is actually being downloaded. Mine is 1 byte on the client.

If anyone has this working, would you mind posting client-local.cfg and hobbit-client.cfg snips?

Is anyone in the hobbit world using BBWin in central mode to monitor the status of a file on the Window side and reporting back to a UNIX hobbit server? If so I could really use your help.

MYSETUP

CLIENT Hostname: mailrelay.math.purdue.edu OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition Service Pack 2 (build 3790) BBWin: BBWin V.12

SERVER Hostname: zorn.math.purdue.edu OS: SunOS zorn.math.purdue.edu 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R

On the server I have the following two files

client-local.cfg

    [mailrelay.math.purdue.edu]
    file:c:\testbbwin

hobbit-clients.cfg

    HOST=mailrelay.math.purdue.edu
            UP 30m
            LOAD 40.0 70.0
            DISK    * 90 95
            FILE c:\testbbwin red MTIME<600

On the BBwin client my clientlocal.cfg file has

    file:c:\testbbwin

file:c:\testbbwin does not seem to add any information in the msg.mailrelay file.

QUESTIONS:

I do get any information in the msg.mailrelay file about the file:c:\testbbwin. Is the code built in BBWin to capture the file: information to add to the msg.mailrelay file or is this something that I have to write?

Can you provide your files so I can see an example.

I really need to monitor a file on the Window side and this would be a great help.

I also I am not a window type guy. We run as few window machines as possible and only where necessary.

Thanks

Robert
