I have a small challenge at hand.. I have a test that involves checking information about a host on some certain web source, however, depending on the host the "base" URL of the source is different. So I'm podinger if it is possible to this in bb-hosts, kind of like how the http test works with cont=bla:http://blabla;bla
I picture something like mytest;key=val and then being able to pick up ${key} with value "val" from the test script.
The alternative is to have a new test for each "val", and several quite identical test scripts.

Since your test script is a custom script, there is no problem in doing that. Use something like this in your script:
#!/bin/sh
$BBHOME/bin/bbhostgrep --no-extras "mytest*" |
while read L
do
set $L
IP=$1; shift
MACHINE=$1; shift
shift
TESTSPEC=$1
OPTVAL=`echo "$TESTSPEC" | cut -d';' -f2`
echo "Testing machine $MACHINE with option $OPTVAL"done

Ah, ofcourse - bbhostgrep - how obvious, silly me :)
