[hobbit] Status Unavailable - again

This is a shot in the dark - I had a lockup problem on a BB system where
the kernel was compiled with a different version compiler than was
included with the system and there were some IPC-related changes in
compiler versions.

Hi Henrik,

we have several own-written scripts (mostly in perl) which monitor
oracle 
instances, bea weblogic servers. There is one for hardware monitoring -
HP 
(Intel) and Sun Servers (prtdiag based) and some are just the output of
a 
http request to the software running on that weblogic servers.
I have just one server for testing, it's a HP DL 360. We are running
Redhat 
Enterprise Server 3 but I've tried it with a SuSE 9.3 too.

Regards,

Stefan
