I also feel confused...
We use ONHOST but in clientlaunch.cfg (which is centrally managed).
Don't know why the ONHOST keyword is described in hobbitlaunch.cfg.


Example:

[localtest]
         ONHOST hostname1|hostname2|hostname3
         ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
         CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/localtest.sh
         LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/localtest.log
         INTERVAL 5m
