[hobbit] Hobbit main view stopped updating

[Thompson, Brian]

I deleted everything in the temp folder to see if something in there
could be the issue, and unbeknownst to me I deleted the checkpoint file.

I found that out when I was finally able to find a way to start the
service.  Everything showed up all messed up and I figured it would just
take time for it to sort through all of its issues, but I've still got a
half dozen no-status yet services, and a boatload of them are still
purple.

hobbitd has been yellow since I finally got it back up, and I still get
the same "Ignored PURPLE status" from all of the custom scripts my
overseas counterparts wrote, but now they're accompanied by a large
wealth of "Bogus status message contains no data: Sent from hobbitd"
messages.

Is this something that'll eventually work itself out?  It's been up for
about 2 hours now and it's still getting plenty of these messages.

Thanks,

Brian Thompson

Check your ~/server/tmp directory.  If there is a socket file called
hobbitd_if there, delete it, then try restarting your server.

If Hobbit crashes, this gets me every time.  Not that Hobbit crashes
that often, but I test it with new client data stream data and back end
code for that data.  Sometimes it gets a little upset... :)
