question "...is the hobbitd_sample.c something that I should look at for this?"
almost sounds like you may not be. You could be for a long haul if
your intent is to learn a programming language while converting your existing
Hobbit shell script into something more efficient. It's not going to be a
simple cut-paste-compile scenerio, that's for sure. Pardon me if I've
interpreted you posting incorrectly.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

the ones that are the simplest-of-the-simple, and for those I do use just plain
inefficent shell. I know C as well, but find PERL to be amost as efficient
for what I do, and a heckuva lot quicker to program in.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

vs. C programming<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I remember reading somewhere in the Hobbit documentation that when an
extension script starts to do a lot of things, it should be coded in a compiled
language such as C, instead of as a shell script. I have a custom script
that takes a lot of data and converts it into NCV graphs, and I believe it is at
the point where I should consider rewriting it in C. <BR><BR>Before I get to far
into it, is the hobbitd_sample.c something that I should look at for this?
I'm not sure if I'm reading the documentation on it correctly, if it is a good
example for an external script. Has anyone else had experience in needing
to convert a shell script to C/C++/etc for Hobbit? I'm just trying to get
a rough idea of how much effort this will require. <BR></BODY></HTML>
