Hi guys,

...

Have recently upgraded to 4.0.2 and discovered we are having some issues ack'ing alerts this morning.

...

Its sending out notifications to email and pager fine but when I put

them

...

into the Ack Alert page on hobbit it says alert ack'ed or whatever it says but theys till keep coming. Also in the hobbitd.log i get the message

...

date time Cookie 624644 not found, dropping ack

...

There is no way I've typed it wrongas I got 4 ppl to look at it to make sure I wasnt going insane.

...

Also not sure if anyone else has had this since upgrading to 4.0.2 as my emails for the last few days seemed to have vanished

...

Allan

Yeah... this was covered a few days ago.

Pick up and apply this patch...

http://www.hswn.dk/hobbitsw/hobbit-4.0.2-acknowledge.patch

...and you should be back in business.

Regards, Andy.

Ok I'm guessing by the looks of it have to drop this file into the src directory and reconfig/make hobbit ?

Can someone please give me a hint in the right direction as I've never had to apply a patch to hobbit before.

Also is there an online copy/archive of this mailing list at all ?

Cheers

You've got the idea ;-)  First save the patch file to /tmp, then...

cd hobbit-4.0.2 patch -p0 </tmp/maintenance-feature.patch

Whoops!  try...

patch -p0 </tmp/hobbit-4.0.2-acknowledge.patch

:-)  Serves me right for copying Henrik's instructions!

make stop Hobbit make install (as root) start Hobbit

I'm not sure what system you are running hobbit on, but if you get any errors with patch try gpatch instead (I have to do this on my Solaris 9 x86 box).

HTH, Andy.

Running all the way back on Redhat Linux 7.2 on a beasty Pentium Pro 200

I tried the patch command and it sat there for an age and did nothing.

Should I drop the file into the hobbit install dir/hobbitd and run it from there seeing as that the hobbitd.c file is in that dir ? Or will the patch command search the entire hdd for hobbitd.c ? Im a bit of a newb and can say ive never used patch before.

The again I might just edit the line in the hobbitd.c by hand, will that work ?

Allan

The location of the patch doesn't really matter - as long as your current directory is the "root" of the hobbit 4.0.2 source files.  RHL uses GNU patch AFAIK so the patch vs gpatch thing shouldn't be an issue.  Can you check you have the redirect the right way around?  "<" not ">" ??

Yes - manually editing hobbitd.c circa line 923 to match the + string in the patch will certainly have the same affect :-)  Although it might be nice to figure out why patch isn't working in case the next change is a bit more complicated.

Andy.

PS - Sorry for the following company sporge :-(
