What's a good way to get all the BB environment variables set up when I want to use them in a script that's not launched from hobbitd?
For example, if I have a script that receives an email and reports a status because of it? I know that I could hard-code everything, but that's tacky. :-)
Thanks, Jon
Execute this line at the beginning of your script:
. $BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh
Make sure you have the period<space> at the beginning.

I don't have a bbdef.sh anywhere under my hobbit ~/server directory... :-(

Try using $BBHOME/etc/hobbitserver.cfg .

Sorry...I was thinking about Big Brother clients.
For Hobbit, you should call your script from "server/etc/ hobbitlaunch.cfg".
I have one like this:
[lvm]
ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD $BBHOME/ext/bb-lvm.sh
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-lvm.log

And if that gives an error that it can not open a config file, first do export BBHOME=<server dir>
This also works for the hobbit client.

Put "bbcmd" in front of your command. I.e. run
bbcmd /home/jon/myscript.sh
Forget everything about using "bbdef.sh" (that's for Big Brother), or source'ing hobbitserver.cfg directly - bbcmd is *the* way to have the Hobbit environment available.
