Hey Bruce,
If you have server-side checks that need to be done (e.g. Snmp query to alot of clients or in this case check if mysql server is running) you can add some lines to hobbitlaunch.cfg
[mysql] ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD $BBHOME/ext/bb-mysql.pl LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-mysql.log INTERVAL 5m
This is the same as the hobbit processes themselves Setting the environment, say that it needs hobbitd, which command to execute, to which file to log messages, and how often to fire the script.
I use it like this, the only thing you need to take into account is that for shell scripts the variables as they were defined in the old BB (grep, awk, ...) are not in the environment so you have to add them to your script.
Cheers,
Wim

Hi,
Does hobbit use the bb-bbexttab file? I'm trying to find how to define external checks to run.
Thanks.
