OK, I just tested that. The changed line was:

         $BBHOME/bin/bbtest-net `cat $REDOFILE` --check-response

I've got the content of the "frequenttests." (the . is really there!)
file for you as well:

"--ping" "--checkresponse" <site> <site2> <site3> <site4>

(So four sites in all. My count was off by one in my previous mail. I
blame the heat ;-)

The change makes no difference, still yellow/green/yellow/green for all
four sites simultaneously when I change de FTP expect setting in
bb-services.


Regards,

Eric.
