As far as I know there is no built-in functionality to dynamically
execute remote scripts and get their output. Others may have better
suggestions, but one way of doing it, is you could set the client-side
script to be launched by the hobbit client every X minutes, (via
clientlaunch.cfg). I'm not sure of the best way to get the script
output back to the hobbit server though. I guess you could have the
script output to a logfile , and then have the hobbit server monitor
that log via the normal log monitoring mechanism<br>

there a way to confgure a client, via client-local.cfg or otherwise, to
run some arbitrary command on the client and send it's stdout/stderr
back to the hobbit server? I have a few simple shell scripts that
exist on some clients that it would be nice to invoke and then read
their results on the server end using the "$BBHOME/bin/bb localhost
clientlog..." method. Similar to the way a <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="file:path_to_file">"file:path_to_file"</a>
directive will collect a file's metadata? I want something like
"runprogram:path_to_program"</span></font></div>

am doing this currently using a server-side script that ssh'es to the
client machine and runs what it needs. I would rather have the normal
Hobbit client collect the data output by the client-side program,
upload that, and my server-side script would parse that resulting
clientlog rather than going and collecting it's own data. If this is
possible.</span></font></div>
