Hi all,
I have problems getting the FQDN from some AIX servers using the uname -n, so I am looking for a way to solve this. Will the hobbit client read the hostname from a bbaliasname file in ~hobbit/etc/ ?
It seems that I can not do a include direcive in the hobbit-clients.cfg file, will this be supported in 2.3 ?

3 choices (that I know of):
bbhome/runclient.sh --hostname=fqdn start
edit runclient.sh:
MACHINEDOTS="uname -n"
To
MACHINEDOTS="uname -n.domain.com"
- use the NAME/CLIENT tags in bb-hosts:
From bb-hosts man page: "NAME:hostname Overrides the default hostname used on the overview web pages. If "hostname" contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotes, e.g. NAME:"R&D Oracle Server"
CLIENT:hostname Defines an alias for a host, which will be used when identifying status messages. This is typically used to accomodate a local client that sends in status reports with a different hostname, e.g. if you use hostnames with domains in your Hobbit configuration, but the client is a silly Window box that does not include the hostname. Or vice versa. Whatever the reason, this can be used to match status reports with the hosts you define in your bb-hosts file. It causes incoming status reports with the specified hostname to be filed using the hostname defined in bb-hosts."
Hope this helps, Jason.
