All,
Is there a way to write a script in such a way that it only reports in once a day (I know how to do this part), and then tell hobbit not to turn that test purple for 24 hours after it receives that last status?
TIA

Check the man page for bb.
First option listed under "Hobbit Message Syntax" is status... check out +LIFETIME !

Al,
Sure, just append the number of seconds to your status message (in the format of "+seconds" see example below). Hobbit will then not turn purple unless that time expires and no further status messages have been received.
$BB $BBDISP "status+86400 $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR date &green This is a green message that won't expire for 24 hours."

And it's usually a good idea to add a bit of extra time to give the script time to run the next time - say, half an hour extra.
