The attached patch should do it. It creates a "user" channel that is fed the messages you send with $BB $BBDISP "usermsg HOSTNAME ... your custom message here ..."
On the server side, run hobbitd_channel --channel=user YOURCUSTOMCOMMAND to pick up the messages.
I've set the max size of such messages at 128 KB (random number), but you can tune it by setting MAXMSG_USER to something else and restarting Hobbit. Note that as always, OS limits may need to be tweaked since this adds an extra shared memory segment and a couple of semaphore items. If you suddenly cannot start Hobbit and it complains about "cannot setup user channel", then that's your problem.
Henrik Henrik, if you are ever in Belgium of the Netherlands, let me know, and I will be you a drink. Nice job.
