It is confusing, but Hobbit (now called XyMon, by the way) is derived
from something called Big Brother. Big Brother abbreviates to 'BB',
therefor many things in Hobbit/XyMon are still called 'bb<something>'

You will only see those processes monitored on the Hobbit server, since
they (together) ARE the Hobbit server.

Hello. 

There are a few things I dont quite understand yet about hobbit and I
cant find anything that explains it in the docs so i better ask :)

In the hobbit "display", the webpage, the hobbit server itself is listed
with a few things i dont get on the other servers, like bbd, bbgen,
bbtest and hobbitd. These seem to provide interesting things though. I
have installed hobbit-client on the clients. 

Regards,
Benedikt
