Ok, my mistake. The message is sent when hobbit is stopped, not started, 
so it is a known issue.

I guess I was just too impatient, as I receive messages after a while.

It seems that there is some kind of buffering on the logs produced by 
the listener when launched through hobbitlaunch.cfg so it delayed the 
messages even more.

Thanks for your help,
