Hobbit client external script debugging
How do people who run the hobbit client debugging their external scripts? With BB I usually export BBHOME and run $BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh from my current shell and I can run my external scripts in the forground and see what they're doing.
I suppose that I could change my external scripts to run every minute or two and monitor the log files, but I'd rather run them as needed while working on them. Or I could keep around a BB client for each platform that I need to tweak scripts on.
Is there another option that I've overlooked?
From the hobbit client install:
~client/bin/bbcmd <path_to_script>
Perhaps something like:
client> bin/bbcmd sh -x ext/myscript.sh or
client> bin/bbcmd perl -ds ext/myscript.pl

AHA! I was hoping there was something stupid I overlooked!
But, I'm still having a little trouble. I found that I have to export HOBBITCLIENTHOME (which is usually set in the runclient.sh script) and specify the entire path to the environment file, but I still get some errors:
./bin/bbcmd --env=/usr/lib/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg sh -x ext/bb-msgs.sh 2005-11-08 12:02:31 WARNING: Cannot open include file '/var/run/hobbitclient-runtime.cfg', line was:@r¸ . .... ++ /bin/cat /usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp/MSGSTATUS.2666
- /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bb-combo.sh add 'status .msgs green Tue Nov 8 11:57:50 EST 2005 All message files OK
' Usage: /usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin/bb [--debug] [--proxy=http://ip.of.the.proxy:port/] RECIPIENT DATA RECIPIENT: IP-address, hostname or URL DATA: Message to send, or "-" to read from stdin
I get the same message with all of my external scripts that run normally if run from the client daemon. If I just run sh through bbcmd, I find that most of the variables I expect to see are not defined ($BBOUT, $MACHINE, $MACHINEDOTS, ect...)
Thanks.

If you read the manpages about bbcmd you find information about how use it.
