it seems to have worked. However, if I ran the script manually before the next run, the status page on the server didn't get updated. Does this mean the LIFETIME or other hidden params somewhere declined the status update (since it is still GREEN, it is not an update

HOSTNAME.TESTNAME COLOR <additional text> </span></div>
<div>
<dd>This sends in a status message for a single test (column) on a single host.
TESTNAME is the name of the column where this test will show up; any name is
valid except that using dots in the testname will not work. COLOR must be one of
the valid colors: "green", "yellow", "red" or "clear". The colors "blue" and
"purple" - although valid colors - should not be sent in a status-message, as
these are handled specially by the Hobbit server. <br>The "additional text"
normally includes a local timestamp and a summary of the test result on the
first line. Any lines following the first one are free-form, and can include any
information that may be useful to diagnose the problem being reported. <br>The
LIFETIME defines how long this status is valid after being received by the
Hobbit server. The default is 30 minutes, but you can set any period you like.
E.g. for a custom test that runs once an hour, you will want to set this to at
least 60 minutes - otherwise the status will go purple after 30 minutes. It is a
good idea to set the LIFETIME to sligtly more than the interval between your
tests, to allow for variations in the time it takes your test to complete. The
LIFETIME is in minutes, unless you add an "h" (hours), "d" (days) or "w" (weeks)
immediately after the number, e.g. "status+5h" for a status that is valid for 5
hours. </dd>

have an extension script to check RAID status every two hours on the client

the server was expecting the data every 5m by default. How can I tell the
