Server side EXT script not running or appearing on web page

[Mark Ashley]

Hi,

I'm trying to replace the inbuilt SSH test with one that does something
intelligent and have put this into ~hobbit/server/ext:

hobbit% cat server/ext/NGssh
#!/bin/sh

BBHTAG=NGssh           # What we put in bb-hosts to trigger this test
COLUMN=NGssh    # Name of the column, often same as tag in bb-hosts

$BBHOME/bin/bbhostgrep $BBHTAG | while read L
do
   set $L    # To get one line of output from bbhostgrep

   HOSTIP="$1"
   MACHINEDOTS="$2"
   MACHINE=`echo $2 | $SED -e's/\./,/g'`
   MSG="$BBHTAG status for host $MACHINEDOTS"
   reply = `ssh $MACHINE -l hobbit /usr/ucb/whoami`
   if [ "$reply" = "hobbit" ]
     COLOR=green
   else
     COLOR=red
   fi
   $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date`
       ${MSG}
       "
done
exit 0



Then the script is added to bb-hosts:

hobbit% grep NGssh ~hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts
group-only conn|cpu|disk|info|memory|msgs|procs|NGssh|trends Campus
123.123.5.52 hostert # noping NGssh
123.123.1.12 hostick # noping NGssh
123.123.16.9 hostker # noping NGssh
123.123.3.11 hostel # noping NGssh
123.123.8.8 hostay # noping NGssh
123.123.5.49 hostmis # noping NGssh
123.123.3.17 hosteus # noping NGssh
123.123.1.11 hosty # noping NGssh
123.123.9.13 hostger # noping NGssh


What else needs to be done to action this script?
The script doesn't seem to be running and nothing is appearing in a
column. Scripts from the deadcat site mention a BBEXT variable but
it's not in any of the hobbit config files.

Thanks,
Mark
