Does anyone have any ideas on this??

is there an easy way to determine what version of the client is installed?
thanks, Adam

Don't know about "easy", but the following does work (even if it is ugly):
strings bb | grep "^[1-9]\."
Will work for all versions of hobbit up to and including 9 :-)

I don't think this is consistant on all platforms. On AIX: #strings bb | grep "^[1-9]\." 1.14 src/bos/usr/ccs/lib/libc/__threads_init.c, libcthrd, bos520 7/11/00 12:04:14
and a client compiled from the same source on Linux:
strings bb | grep "^[1-9]\."
4.1.2

Probably not. I've added a "--version" option for the "bb" and "bbcmd" commands now - both of these are included in the client installation. So in the future, you can run "bbcmd --version" and it will say
henrik at osiris:~/hobbit$ ./common/bbcmd --version Hobbit version 4.1.2
