I've been running this since about an hour after your email. Everything appears to be working good. I'm glad I switched from the BB daemon, it's eliminated a number of bugs that have been bothering me.

Just thanks email. Here are some stats:

I've been squashing some bugs today, so there's now a fresh snapshot available at http://www.hswn.dk/beta/

This should hopefully fix several things:

• netstat reports from the Hobbit client on AIX, HP-UX and Solaris should be working again. If your netstat graphs stopped updating and you got errors like "expected 16 data source readings (got 15)" then this is for You.

• I've dropped the C-ARES 1.3.0 library for now. It has some build problems on HP-UX that haven't been resolved yet.

Some improvements also:

• You can now configure disk checks to check if specific file- systems are actually mounted. E.g. if you want to make sure that the /export/customer/www filesystem is mounted, put this in your hobbit-clients.cfg: DISK /export/customer/www 80 95 1 -1 red "80 95" are the usual limits for how full it can be, "1 -1 red" means there must be minimum 1 such filesystem listed in the "df" output from the client, or the status will go red. (-1 is the max. limit, meaning "no limit" - this is if you have filesystem listed using a regular expression).

The Changes file has a long list of other changes and improvements done since 4.1.1.

In other words, there's something to play with if you feel like trying out the latest and greatest. Now I'll go back and re-scan the mailinglist traffic to look at what's pending for 4.1.2.
