<div><div>I realised earlier that the disabletime value coming from hobbitdboard is actually a unix timestamp, but the disable command wants a duration in the form of seconds, minutes or hours. Again, this works with Ubuntu, and probably any other Linux, but maybe not in a different Unix. It relies on the GNU date command, for a start... :)</div>

reply email,<br>
There are getblue.sh and putblue.sh to do the collecting on primary and populating on DR/standby hobbit server.<br>
<br>
I tired it but I found the putblue.sh is not working. I still can't see the same list of maintenance hosts between the twos, even the get and put blue shell ran sucessfully.<br>
<br>
This may caused by lacking of running bbpage alert module on DR/Secondary module. Is your DR hobbit server has alert module disabled and your script still works ?<br>
<br>
Would you mind to send to the list or send it to my email account ? I like to learn how you did it.</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>As I said, I only tried it in Ubuntu, so I would expect it to work in any Linux distribution. I'm still setting up other servers in VMware for fooling around with this kind of thing. What OS do you have??</div>
