I hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong here... I've got a very simple script:

#!/bin/sh

COLUMN=lifetime COLOR=red

MSG="All is OK"

$BB $BBDISP "status+30 $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR date

${MSG} " exit

which is run from hobbitlaunch.cfg with this entry:

[lifetime] ENVFILE /home/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD /home/hobbit/checkouts/lifetime-test.sh LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/hobbitclient.log INTERVAL 1m

I entered two IP addresses in the hobbitclient.cfg file:

BBDISP="0.0.0.0" BBDISPLAYS="10.1.1.1 10.1.1.2"

The first address is the hobbit server where the script is running, the other is a remote hobbit server. Both are running the same RC release.

What's happening is: the RED status is received by the local server and display. It is not displayed on the remote server. If I take the +30 out of the message, both servers display the correct status.

Either I've misunderstood what's supposed to be happening, or the remote server isn't handling the "status+N" properly.
