Try below (Change testname and textblabla and add parameters accordingly)

~server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard test=xxx fields=hostname,testname" |while read L; do HOST=echo $L | cut -d'|' -f1 TEST=echo $L | cut -d'|' -f2 ~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "status $HOST.$TEST blue textblabla"; done

Hi Michael,

that is possible, of course, I was just curious if there is a build-in solution. And it is, even within the web interface, Malcolm showed me (thanks)

Write a script that reads bb-hosts to generate a list of hostnames, and loop through them calling your disable

Hi,

I'd like to disable one service on all machines temporarily. For
one machine I  use
./bb $BBDISP "disable `hostname`.<service> some text  like 12h
night an weekend no test"
Of course I can do this for every host  but I wonder if there is a
one-liner for disabling the service on all machines.  I read in an
older posting that the web-interface hobbit-enadis.sh should show
"ALL" as an option both for hosts and tests, but in our case
(xymon 4.3.0) it doesn't show an option  "ALL" in the field
"hosts" but only in "tests",

thanks for hints

Rolf
