Client-side scripts usually work without modifications when you run them from the Hobbit client launcher (by adding them to clientlaunch.cfg).

Hobbit provides the same run-time environment for extension scripts as BB does. I have seen a script or two which assumed certain files from the BB client were present - e.g. calling "/usr/local/bb/bin/bb" instead of using the "$BB" environment variable - but 99% of the script's are well-behaved and work without any modifications.

Hello,

We've running a Hobbit server, but still mostly BigBrother clients on our Linux servers. I love the features of the Hobbit client compared to BB, but I'm hesitant to switch because of the number of BB scripts we use.

For example, we use bb-raid.sh to monitor our RAID controller and openmanage.sh to monitor our Dell hardware. Both were provided from Deadcat. Should these scripts work under the Hobbit client? If not, are there any tips on how to retrofit them?

Thanks Shane
