It does not matter. You can still write an external script like this
[external]
ENVFILE /path/to/local/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
CMD /path/to/local/external/script
LOGFILE /path/to/local/logs/external.log
INTERVAL 5m
That will work just fine even though you are sharing same hobbit client

I tried that...2 problems:<br>
1. I don't have a local place to store things (the homedirs are SAN,
and I don't have permissions to use /usr/local and whatnot).<br>
2. I tried similar to above anyway, using /tmp, and the client log
fills up with errors because it cannot find the ext script to launch.
To get around this, any ext scripts I write, I include a hostname
check, such that they only run on the hosts I want. My wishlist item is
that Hobbit would support an option to run ext tests via
hobbitclients.cfg, but it will probably never be added due to security
concerns :)<br>
