2006-06-15 14:45:05 Ignored PURPLE status update from 127.0.0.1
for <unknown>.unknown
That's odd.
The reason for the message is that Hobbit should never receive a
status
message with color PURPLE. The purple status is generated
internally by
the hobbitd daemon, so sending an explicit status update with color
purple is not allowed.
The only reason I can think of is that you're running an older version
of the bbgen utility. In the old days, when I was still using the
BB package, purple updates were generated as a result of building
the webpages - so running "bbgen" would trigger a stream of purple
updates. But that should not happen with the current Hobbit-versions
of bbgen.
The "<unknown>.unknown" means that the host- and testnames don't match
anything Hobbit knows about.
If you cannot figure out where this comes from, you can try running
hobbitd with the "--trace-all" option; this will cause hobbitd to log
all incoming messages to files in the tmp/ directory. You shouldn't
run
with that enabled for very long, obviously.
