As Hobbit doesn't have it's own client (yet!), I'll assume it understands
all of the standard bb client options.  I haven't tested it yet as I'm in
the process of integrating our daily backup scripts into hobbit, where I
too will need this feature.

If you read the help pages on the bb4.org site, you'll run across this
one...

http://demo.bb4.com/bb/help/help/status_message_format.htm

When you call the bb client executable from your script, change "status" to
"status+1440" in the message header for the lifetime to be 24 hours.  You
might want to bump it to 25 hours to cope with those times your daily
process takes a little bit longer ;-)

HTH,
Andy.
