You have to write a script that feeds the data to hobbit, and then add an entry to the $CLIENT/etc/clientlaunch.cfg file.
For example, our SAN pathcheck script entry looks like this:
[pathcheck] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/alj.pathcheck LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/alj.pathcheck.log INTERVAL 5m

Hey all,
I have been using the externals with bbwin to run scripts I've created for custom tests, but I need to do the same with a linux client I have.
Any ideas how to run an external script with a linux client?
With bbwin, you just use the externals.dll and put your .exe path in the externals section of the xml config file and write your test result to the tmp directory for the hobbit service to pick up.
Thanks,
