</div>One, possibly last, question:<br>
<br>
In the process of migrating my bb-hosts file from BigBrother to xymon<br>
and duplicating my current BB setup, it appears as if I managed to lose<br>
the tests for bbgen, bbtest, hobbitd... maybe another as well. I can't<br>
figure out what it is that causes these tests to show up, as I do not<br>
believe they were spelled out in the default bb-hosts file. Can anyone<br>
point me to either some good docs on that or an answer?<br>
<br>
Currently, on the "BBDISPLAY" machine I have bbnet and bbretest<br>
disabled. However, stats for these processes do not show up on the<br>
"BBNET" machines either (sorry to use BB terminology but it does not<br>
appear that xymon has any term to make the description easy). The BBNET<br>
machines have hobbitd, bbhistory, bbpage, rrdstatus, rrddata,<br>
clientdata, and bbdisplay disabled.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help!<br>
