I have dropped both procs and ports so far. <br><br>I
hacked the hobbit-client-<OS>.sh script on the client, restarted
the client then dropped the tests once again from the server. Those 2
tests are now gone.<br><br>I'm not sure how to get rid of msgs and
files though. Doesn't appear to be any entry for these in the
hobbit-client-<OS>.sh script. Anyone? There are no uncommented
FILE or LOG entries in the client's localclient.cfg or in the server's
hobbit-clients.cfg files.<br><br>I'm confused as to why it is so
difficult to remove standard client-side tests that I do not wish to
perform at this point in time. <br><br>Benjamin<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Buchan Milne <bgmilne@staff.telkomsa.net><br>To: hobbit@hswn.dk<br>Cc: Benjamin Gagnon <benjamin.gagnon@yahoo.ca><br>Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 4:23:55 AM<br>Subject: Re: [hobbit] drop test not sticking...<br><br><div>On Monday 19 March 2007, Benjamin Gagnon wrote:<br>> Hi, I'm having a problem with dropping a host's test.<br>><br>> I perform the following command from the server (there are no output errors<br>> or errors in the error log)...<br>><br>> bb 127.0.0.1 "drop opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca ports"<br>><br>> Within a couple of minutes the ports column gets dropped and then a couple<br>> of minutes later the column reappears.
