I'm having problems running external scripts out of the box. Should
bbwin interpret these script natively like bbnt or is there some
tweaking involved? I'm trying to get IIS-Check.vbs to work for the
record with no luck.

Hello everyone,


I publish today BBWin 0.7 (a free Big Brother Hobbit Windows client).
I know I'm late, I said it would be on last monday :-)

You can download the MSI installer of this preview from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwin

This preview contains the new following stuffs:

* The msgs agent : it monitors the event logs. It uses match and ignore
rules with a lot of options. Rules can be specified with EventId, Event
type, Source, LogFile and description (perl regular expressions can be
used).

* BBWin configuration auto reloading : BBWin auto reload can be set so
any change to the BBWin.cfg file will indicate BBWin to reload its
configuration without restarting the service itself.

* bbpager : BBWin now supports bbpager feature (used with Big Brother
server, not compatible with hobbit)

* cpu improved : Cpu has been rewritten and reports now contains process
owner and priority

* Documentation: the documentation is now delivered as a chm file,
easyer to read than first my ReadMe.txt file. It will be more complete
with time. Also,  it may contains many english bad spelling. I will take
english lesssons soon but you are welcome to send me corrections :)

* Migration tools: configuration migration from bbnt to BBWin for
bbpager and msgs has been implemented


Note : This new version now use registry for the hostname setting. I
decided that because it will help to have generic BBWin.cfg files. You
may delete the hostname xml setting in your BBWin.cfg file and fill the
registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BBWin\hostname.


The BBWin 0.6 contained the following stuffs :

* Resolution of a major bugs with the configuration agents which was the
cause of many crashs at the start or stop of the BBWin service.

* The svcs agent dll : it monitors the windows services
----------

I also create a poll on the BBWin forum page about future features of
BBWin.
You are welcome to participate to it, so people can give ideas and
remarks so, we can improve BBWin to obtain the best tool for everyone.

To finish, I would like to thanks Steve Aiello and Hermann-Josef Beckers
for their help in testing BBWin.

Have a nice day,


Etienne.
