So ...<br>
<br>
I add the code you suggest, query bb for status and test for blue, but
it is never blue, even when disabled. <br>
<br>
To be sure that my client script is not changing the status I put an
exit statement in the script so the code is not processed. <br>
<br>
Maybe I need to find a better way to restart the application when it
fails, or get the vendor to address the problems with it.<br>
<br>
Here is what I see.<br>

Because the application I am monitoring is faulty I added to the client
script a section of code to start up the application should it fail. I
shut down the application and Hobbit starts it up ... Cool.
To avoid having the application start up during the backup or
maintenance window I disable the client script.
I ran a test backup to be sure it worked, but it appears that Hobbit
executes the client script even when the test is disabled, and the
application goes from blue to red to green.

You're right that Hobbit runs the client script regardless of whether
the status that the script reports is disabled or not. hobbitlaunch
which runs the script simply has no idea what status column(s) your
script might report.

<pre wrap=""><!---->
Have your script check if the test is disabled, and abort if it is.
Something like this:
STATUS=`$BB $BBDISP "query $MACHINE.mytest" | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ "$STATUS" = "blue" ]; then exit 0; fi
The bb(1) man-page has some more examples of how you can use the "query"
command.
