[hobbit] hobbit, file and bbwin question

[Aaron Zink]

Robert,

I too have never been able to get this to work.  The BBWin 0.11 release notes say it is supposed to, but I've had no luck.  My clientlocal.cfg and hobbit-client.cfg look similar to yours.  I've tried slashes, doublebackslashes, quotes, etc but it always shows up as "no files monitored".

It sounds like you are one step ahead of me since your clientlocal.cfg is actually being downloaded.  Mine is 1 byte on the client.

If anyone has this working, would you mind posting client-local.cfg and hobbit-client.cfg snips?

Subject: [hobbit] hobbit, file and bbwin question

Is anyone in the hobbit world using BBWin in central mode to monitor the
status of a file on the Window side and reporting back to a UNIX hobbit
server? If so I could really use your help.

MYSETUP

CLIENT
Hostname:       mailrelay.math.purdue.edu
OS:     Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition Service Pack 2
(build 3790)
BBWin: BBWin V.12

SERVER
Hostname:       zorn.math.purdue.edu
OS:     SunOS zorn.math.purdue.edu 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R



On the server I have the following two files

client-local.cfg

        [mailrelay.math.purdue.edu]
        file:c:\testbbwin


hobbit-clients.cfg

        HOST=mailrelay.math.purdue.edu
                UP 30m
                LOAD 40.0 70.0
                DISK    * 90 95
                FILE c:\testbbwin red MTIME<600

On the BBwin client my clientlocal.cfg file has

        file:c:\testbbwin

file:c:\testbbwin does not seem to add any information in the
msg.mailrelay file.



QUESTIONS:

I do get any information in the msg.mailrelay file about the
file:c:\testbbwin. Is the code built in BBWin to capture the file:
information to add to the msg.mailrelay file or is this something that I
have to write?

Can you provide your files so I can see an example.

I really need to monitor a file on the Window side and this would be a great
help.

I also I am not a window type guy. We run as few window machines as possible
and only where necessary.


Thanks

Robert
