[hobbit] How do you check the status from other column from scripts?

[Matthew Moldvan]

I recently found the bb command with the hobbitdboard to work pretty well 
for grabbing info on a specific test and specific host:

# ./bbcmd
# bb 136.180.70.203 'hobbitdboard <full_host_name_as_in_bb-hosts>.conn' 
<full_host_name_as_in_bb-hosts>|conn|green|OrdAstLe|1258268784|1260293536|1260295336|0|0|136.180.70.203|-1|green 
<!-- [flags:OrdAstLe] --> Tue Dec  8 12:31:25 2009 conn ok

// notice the single quotes for the DATA area, as the "bb" command only 
takes two arguments, you have to encase these in quotes

Getting that command to run in a script is a little more complex and 
required me to do an su to the xymon user ...

        CMD='/usr/lib64/xymon/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop 
'${HOSTNAME}'"'
        echo ${CMD}
        su - xymon -c "${CMD}"

Some other useful stuff is in there too, check out 
http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/man1/bb.1.html.

Hope that helps.
