I have a question about external scripts. I just moved over to Hobbit from BB and need to run my scripts. I have been using the "snmp" for my netapps and "bb-xsnmp" for my switches. I added an entry to the "hobbitlaunch.cfg"

[bbxsnmp] CMD $BBHOME/ext/bb-xsnmp.pl LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-xsnmp.log INTERVAL 1m

but it doesnt work. Does anyone have any advice on using these BB scripts?

First thing to do is check that logfile you have in /var/log/hobbit/bb-xsnmp.log and see if it shows any errors.

The most common reason for BB extensions failing with Hobbit is that some environment variables defined by the BB configuration files are not setup by Hobbit. Especially if you have added your own custom settings in bbsys.local.
