Well, I still don't understand what you're using it for - what does
your "delay" script do ?

But there is a way of doing what you want. Send a "hobbitdboard"
request to the server, and look for the output to contain the
ack-code in field 11 (separated by '|' chars). Like the following
awk-script does (substitute "12345" with the ack-code you want):

  ~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard" | \
     awk -F '|' '$11 == "12345" {print $1 " " $2 }'
