I have my server as part of the hobbit monitoring pages.
However as this is the only system that it looks for bbgen and hobbitlaunch, I want to remove these. (one is yellow and one is purple so I just want to get rid of them)
If you want to get rid of the yellow, rather address the problems reported on that page (as there is a good reason it is yellow ...).
To get rid of the purple, drop it (see the bb man page), something like: $ ~hobbit/bin/bb localhost 'drop localhost hobbitlaunch'
Also on this server the mysql section is also constant orange, saying mysql has been restarted recently, when I know for a fact it hasn't. how do I resolve this? (Or even just remove it altogether)
AFAIK there is no built-in mysql check that does this, so this is probably running as an extension script. The published ones are client-side, meaning there is most likely a script on the host being monitored, which needs fixing (or removal, and subsequent dropping of the check as above). It could be running out of cron, or from clientlaunch.cfg on the client.
However, you may rather want to replace this check with dbcheck.pl from http://sourceforge.net/projects/hobbit-perl-cl/ (which runs server-side and works relatively well).
