Great it works !

Many thanks Larry

this is my new configuration with a permanent green status for the group :

group-compress  Oracle-AIX 0.0.0.0         -ta92- # noping prefer NOPROPRED:* NOPROPYELLOW:* NOPROPPURPLE:* NOPROPACK:* ...

Fred.

Try using a colon instead of an equals sign. NOPROPRED:* 

Thanks, Larry Barber

I am using "NOPROPxxxx" tags in bb-hosts file with multipes entries, even if i use "prefer" tag it is not working.

group-compress  Oracle-AIX 0.0.0.0         -ta92- # noping prefer NOPROPYELLOW=* NOPROPPURPLE=* NOPROPACK=*

Do you have an idea ?
