[hobbit] Status Unavailable

[Henrik Stoerner]

Hi Vernon,

could you try disabling the [larrdcolumn] and [infocolumn] tasks in your
hobbitlaunch.cfg ? These are no longer used, and I suspect that the code 
in hobbitd that handles these messages is somewhat flaky.

If hobbitd refuses to stop, you'll have to do it with a "kill -9". When
you do that, please check that there are no ressources left allocated
by hobbitd:

  login as the hobbit user
  run "ipcs -m" and "ipcs -s"

If you see something like

  hobbit at osiris:~$ ipcs -m

  ------ Shared Memory Segments --------
  key        shmid      owner      perms      bytes      nattch     status

  hobbit at osiris:~$ ipcs -s

  0x06020b1f 3440646    hobbit    600        3

then it hasn't cleaned up properly and you should either reboot the box
or use "ipcrm -m <shmid>" and "ipcrm -s <semid>" to delete these.

Henrik
