It works! However, I only want it to test once or twice an hour. If I can figure that part out, I'll be in good shape!
You can use the "NET:..." definition in the bb-hosts file to split up your network tests into two groups: Those that are for the modems, and all the others. First setup your modem tests as a separate group of tests:
- Change the entries in your bb-hosts file for these modems and add "NET:modem"
- Create a script ~hobbit/server/ext/modemtest with: #!/bin/sh BBLOCATION=modem bbtest-net --ping --check-response Remember to make it executable (chmod 755 ...)
- Add a new section to the ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg file to run this script once an hour: [modemtests] ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD $BBHOME/ext/modemtest LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/modemtest.log INTERVAL 1h
This runs your modem tests once an hour. Now, you also want to NOT run them together with the standard network tests. To do that:
- Change ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg and add BBLOCATION="standard" This makes the BBLOCATION setting be "standard" by default.
- Change the CMD line in the [bbnet] section in hobbitlaunch.cfg and add the --test-untagged option: [bbnet] ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --test-untagged LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log INTERVAL 5m The --test-untagged option means that there is an implicit "NET:standard" definition on all entries in the bb-hosts file, which do not have an explicit NET:... definition.
