I did wonder about trying to avoid hard-coding the services but am not skilled enough in Hobbit to know where to do it.

I tried doing what you suggested but I can't persuade the client to read the data from the server.

I have the following on the server in the client-local.cfg file: [nms4.lon.oss.colt.net] svc:/network/ssh:default|svc:/site/tftpd:default

And this is in the bb-hosts file: 10.44.85.209 nms4.lon.oss.colt.net # ssh

Yet after restarting both server and client I only get this in the ~hobbit/client/tmp/logfetch.nms4.lon.oss.colt.net.cfg: log:/var/adm/messages:10240 log:/var/log/syslog:10240

Any pointers?

So, having scripted around a couple of issues with sh(1) I have written the following. You are welcome to comment on it or suggest improvements.

Find below bb-smf.sh

#!/bin/sh

A Hobbit script to examine specific Solaris 10 services.

Author: Martin Ward 19 Feb 2008.

Version: 1.0 - Initial version.

SVCS is a list of services to examine the status of. Each

name must be # enough to make it unique in the svcs list. Separate each service with # a | so that we can use ${EGREP} to search for them. SVCS='svc:/network/ssh:default|svc:/site/tftpd:default'

One obvious improvement would be to grab this setting from the Hobbit "client-local.cfg" configuration. The host-specific client-local setting is stored by the Hobbit client in ~hobbit/client/tmp/logfetch.HOSTNAME.cfg, so assuming you put a line like svc:/network/ssh:default|svc:/site/tftpd:default in client-local.cfg (on the Hobbit server), you could grab it using SVCS=grep '^svc:' $BBTMP/logfetch.$MACHINEDOTS.cfg instead of hardcoding it into the script.

(Untested, but it should be rather trivial).
