[hobbit] External scripts

Dave,
  Is the log file being created for the script?  It would also help to
know what the script is doing and what type of log information it is
spitting out.  I have a simple example working with the following
script:

test.pl:
#!/usr/bin/perl

print "TEST\n";

and this entry in hobbitlaunch.cfg:

# TEST Case

[exttest]
        ENVFILE /opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/test.pl
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/ext_test.log
        INTERVAL 1m
