A couple of caveats to upping the message size, the history will store the whole thing for every state change, if the server has a largish number of hosts you can overwhelm the listening daemon.

Don't see that in hobbitserver.cfg. This is hobbit 4.20.

When trying to send a simple status message to hobbit (yes still at that level) , along the line of : /path_to_bb/bb my_hobbit_host "status+1d page.subpage green date cat /somefile"

"somefile" is rather large, some 428k and I can confirm it works fine if I make "somefile" much smaller.

Is there a way around this? The idea is to have this file as a page for reference. I personally think a better solution is to use access or excel (in mswords), but . . . boss wants it this way.
