Manuel,
Thanks Etienne,
I am trying this test as I write this, but I have a further question that maybe you can help me with. What does the "message" piece in the command refer to?
bbwincmd hobbit message 'status+120 <hostname> <test> green "html formatted text"'
hobbit parameter is the hostname of your hobbit server.
message parameter means that bbwincmd will direclty send the next argument to the hobbit server. It has to respect the hobbit protocol. (hobbit bb manpage describes the hobbit protocol).
