<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Dear Mr.Storner,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>my name's Giorgio Volpini, I'm a Computer Science
student of the university of Pisa.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I need some help about your program : Hobbit. Few
months ago I used Hobbit during my stage and now I'm writing a thesis about
it. I'd like to complete my report with a dimostration of Bash-script to use in
the program; my problem is that i don't know Bash-scripting and I have not
enought time to learn it. If I don't give you too much trouble, I needa script
to control the time of presence rivelators connected in Lan with Hobbit
server.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I also have a general idea about the
script:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> - ping the
rivelator</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> - compare the time of the answer
packet with Hobbit system time</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> - decide if it's all ready or
not</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> - warn the administrator with
e-mail, sms or only with Hobbit web interface</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I need only a dimostrative script to add an my
report, so is not important that it works perfectly, but only that
bash-script has right syntax.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Your help is very important for me and I think it
is an work for you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Thank you very much for your
attention.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Your faithfully.</FONT></DIV>
