migration to hobbit: 3 questions

[Steve Holmes]

Fellow hobbits,

I am almost ready to cut over from BB to Hobbit. I've been running the two 
servers on two different hosts for some time. I disconnected them from 
each other (i.e. now they don't know about each other) a week or so ago. 

I have 3 questions I haven't been able to find answers to on the archives, 
etc. Feel free to point me to any info I've overlooked.

Note: using Hobbit 4.2.0/allinone patch, Solaris 10. 

1) I found info about client side monitor scripts, but they all assume 
that the script should run on all clients (near as I can tell). Is there a 
way in clientlaunch.cfg to tell the hobbit client launch that a script 
only needs to be run on one client. We update configurations with rdist so 
the same file will be on all clients. I could mark it up with m4, but I'd 
rather not have to do that. I could also write the script to check to make 
sure it was running on the correct host(s), but that seems kind of 
wasteful (I'm probably showing my age :-). 

2) I have some clients which show white on msgs constantly. Others 
are green, one other toggles between green and white every 1.5 to 3.5 
minutes. As I said above, we have the same config files on all the 
clients, so what could be causing this? Red, yellow and green I could 
understand, but white and green I don't.

3) I'm having a lot of trouble understanding the shared memory
configuration for Solaris 10. I know this isn't a hobbit question, but if
there is any info out there on just what I need to do on the hobbit server
to make sure I have enough allocated, I'd like to see it. I'm getting
pretty consistent messages for hobbitd on the server saying "Oversize data/
client msg from ... truncated" which I surmise from some mail I've seen
that it is about the shared memory space. 


Thanks,
Steve.
