Re: [hobbit] /data/logs directory

Henrik,

If you have the bbstatus task enabled, does it write the values it
recieves to a file, and then the next time data arrives, overwrite the
info in the file, or does it append to the file?

I would like to capture some data that comes in every 1 or 2 seconds

Thanks,
Jeff
