[hobbit] Question/feature request

[Eric van de Meerakker]

Hi Henrik,


I just redid the test with --checkresponse in stead of --check-response:

	$BBHOME/bin/bbtest-net `cat $REDOFILE` --checkresponse

That one seems to produce the desired effect: tests are stable at yellow
when I change the FTP expect setting.

I thought it might not be working properly because of the quotes in in
the "frequenttests." file. Then I removed the --checkresponse and put an
'eval' in front of that line in stead:

	eval $BBHOME/bin/bbtest-net `cat $REDOFILE`

it all works properly again (at least on my SuSE SLES9 installation). If
not a fix, at least it is a workaround...


Regards,

Eric.
