You only need to restart Hobbit if you modify the hobbitserver.cfg
file. All other configuration changes will be picked up automatically
without any restart.

"Failed" means anything that is not green: Red, yellow or
clear.

No.

Oops, didn't mean to leave that in there. It was a completely
separate tool - nothing to do with Hobbit - that I tried using.
http://www.rustyparts.com/pdf.php if you're interested.
Hobbit doesn't generate PDF reports, but you can generate HTML
reports and use some tool to convert them to PDF; or make your
own reports from the data you get from the CSV file.
