Hi Martin,<br><br>Thanks for the update and sorry for the late reply. I have not been in a position to test until tonight...<br><br>I made the change to the config file to address the typo in the distribution and this has fixed the "Ghost Clients" report in hobbit (wasn't working before).<br>
<br>Unfortunately, this has not changed the bahaviour of the bb localhost ghostlist command. It still refuses to update to match the current output of hobbitdboard or the web site.<br><br>I have just spent around an hour adding and removing test hosts that are sending valid data. The ghost clients web page updates as expected after short waits. The bb command never updates until a restart is performed.<br>
<br>Does bb localhost ghostlist on your installation update after changes to bb-hosts and without forcing a restart?<br><br>I now have a workaround thanks to your find though....<br><br>I am using wget to grab the text file that is generated from the web site. That gives me a valid list...<br>
<br>Many thanks for your help!<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Phil<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/6/3 Ward, Martin <<a href="mailto:Martin.Ward@colt.net">Martin.Ward@colt.net</a>>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">Hi
Phil. I have found a small typo in the code that may or may not be the cause of
your woes, my last email to this group detailed it:</font></span></div>

/opt/hobbit/cgi-bin/hobbit-ghosts.sh, line 6 the end of the line looks like:

<div><font color="#0000ff"><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><span>> </span>Changing hobbitcgi.cfg

<div><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">Having
made this change I found that the list of ghost servers was indeed valid. I also
found that manually editing the bb-hosts file, adding one of the ghosts to
the end of it (as you might do via a script if you have the "Unknown hosts"
listed at the end) and waiting about five minutes did cause that machine to be
added into the main Hobbit pages and be removed from the Ghosts
list.</font></span></div>

have been unsuccessful in using the ghostlist report using bb. It is not
consistent. ghostlist does not stop reporting on hosts after they have been
added to bb-hosts. There has not been a clear answer as to why from the list.
Do a search of the mailing list to see my
experiences.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Phil<br><br>
