Henrik,

Thank you first of all.

Still pleased of using hobbit, so we begun to monitor some server from our 
productive environment..

Yea, this was a problem. I had used the old cfg file..

Hm, strange, it seems that sometimes it works, sometimes not. So it seems 
also that hobbit proceed the configuration correctly, but in some cases 
the display is simply wrong at info page.

E.g. this line is configured in my hobbit-alerts.cfg

HOST=myhost SERVICE=disk REPEAT=5 TIME=12345:0600:2300 DURATION<15

Repeat is 5, right? But on the info page of myhost is "Repeat: 30m". 
However, if I test this config by shutting down myhost, i get exact 2 
mails.

Last but not least, is there are anything new on the client front guys? I 
am begging for unix clients with the functionality to execute custom 
scripts, like bb clients it does. Would be very, very highly appreciated! 
:)

Greetings..

Anatoli Bogajewski

p.s. hope that notes send in plaintext..

Make sure you have SECURECGIBINURL defined in your hobbitserver.cfg.
This was added in the 4.0.3rc1 release, and "make install" should add
it to your configuration. See the hobbitd/etcfiles/hobbitserver.cfg
how it should be defined (it's the relative URL for the hobbit-seccgi
web directory).

It's how long alerts are being sent after the initial first alert
message. E.g. if I define an alert like

    HOST=www.foo.com
           MAIL henrik at hswn.dk DURATION>10m DURATION<4h

then "Stop After" should be 4 hours and I only get alerts for the
first 4 hours of downtime.
