Dave, Is the log file being created for the script? It would also help to know what the script is doing and what type of log information it is spitting out. I have a simple example working with the following script:

test.pl: #!/usr/bin/perl

print "TEST\n";

and this entry in hobbitlaunch.cfg:

TEST Case

[exttest] ENVFILE /opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD $BBHOME/ext/test.pl LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/ext_test.log INTERVAL 1m

Does the hobbitlaunch.log tell you anything?

This is how I launch my stuff: [hobbitcentral] ENVFILE /users/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg NEEDS hobbitd CMD $BBHOME/../hobcen/hobcen.sh LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/hobcen.log INTERVAL 1m

Good luck. Tim

Hello all,

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?

Thanks,

Dave
