[hobbit] Hobbit client doesn't report

[Lennon, Padraig]

You could use something like this for the startup file.. This is what we
use here..
 
#!/bin/bash
#set -x
HOSTNAME=`hostname`
DOMAINNAME=xxx.yyy.com
 
if [ `echo ${HOSTNAME} | grep -ic "${DOMAINNAME}"` -eq 0 ]
then
    FQNAME=${HOSTNAME}"."${DOMAINNAME}
else
    FQNAME=${HOSTNAME}
fi
 
FQNAME=`echo $FQNAME | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
 
case $1 in
'start')
        su - hobbit -c "/usr/local/hobbit/client/runclient.sh
--hostname=${FQNAME} start"
        ;;
'stop')
        su - hobbit -c "/usr/local/hobbit/client/runclient.sh
--hostname=${FQNAME} stop"
        ;;
'restart')
        su - hobbit -c "/usr/local/hobbit/client/runclient.sh
--hostname=${FQNAME} restart"
        ;;
*)
        echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
        ;;
esac
 
 
Hope this helps

Gentlemen,
  Thanks VERY much for your input. I found the problem. It was a naming
convention. The example I sent did not have the original entry in the
bb-hosts file. When I originally installed hobbit, I selected FQDN, so
all my hosts had the FQDN. It looked like this:
 
10.10.0.6 castor.galaxy.prv # trace

however, I do not see an option in the client package to make the host
report as a FQDN.
 
I changed the entry in the bb-hosts to use the short name while I was
typing the entry to this forum. I looked later and found that 
it was now collecting data.
 
Is this a bug or just an oversight on my part?
 
Ideas?....and thanks for all your help.
 
Kevin
