Hi Greg,<br><br>thank you for your support, it gave me the right direction! =D<br><br>I found out that this lifetime in the scripts should look like this:<br><pre>$BB $BBDISP "status+70 $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date` OK"<br>
</pre><br>but the Windows .vbs scripts dont give such parameters back to hobbit-server... I just dont know how to implement this "status+time" in the vbs scripts...<br><br>another thing is that the column dont get purple but black! <br>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial">By default, the Hobbit server expects your tests to update
at least once every 30 minutes. This is the LIFETIME parameter.
After "LIFETIME" expires with no updates the server marks the test "purple"
and sends an alert.</font></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="Arial">The fix is simple -- in your script you need to send a
LIFETIME value when you send your status message. If you test once
every day, you need to calculate LIFETIME as 24 * 60 + some extra in case your
test is delayed from some reason.</font></span></div>
