Hi Henrik,

it is not that easy.
What we have is a DMZ for our customers servers with Hobbit as the main
monitoring system.
All of these servers also send their BB data (since they are running the
BB client) also to our internal monitoring server which is a BB where
our internal systems are monitored too.

So our admins use the bb-servmaint.sh from deadcat.net to enable/disable
servers and services on our internal monitor but often forget about the
Hobbit. But I think it would make no difference if we used maint.pl.

So what I want achieve is that if someone disables or enables a service
or server on our internal monitor with the web interface and this server
is one of our customers server then a message should be send to Hobbit
too.

And I was thinking about doing this via the URL I wrote in my original
mail and passing some parameters along with it.

So basically we have a BB server for ALL servers and a Hobbit as a
satellite system for our customer.

Regards
Torsten
