[hobbit] drop test not sticking...

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Look at these options for the bb-hosts file:
 
group-only COLUMN1|COLUMN2|COLUMN3 [group-title] 
Same as the "group" and "group-compress" lines, but includes only the
columns explicitly listed in the group. Any columns not listed will be
ignored for these hosts. 

group-except COLUMN1|COLUMN2|COLUMN3 [group-title] 
Same as the "group-only" lines, but includes all columns EXCEPT those
explicitly listed in the group. Any columns listed will be ignored for
these hosts - all other columns are shown. 
 
NOCOLUMNS:column[,column] 
Used to drop certain of the status columns generated by the Hobbit
client. column is one of cpu, disk, files, memory, msgs, ports, procs.
This setting stops these columns from being updated for the host. Note:
If the columns already exist, you must use the bb
<http://usplsgrad002.net.eds.com:8000/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/bb.1.htm
l> (1) utility to drop them, or they will go purple. 
 
 
Which one to use depends on whether you have a group of hosts that you
don't want to show all values for, or if you need to do this on a
host-by-host basis.  Use "NOCOLUMNS" for controlling the display of
individual hosts, and the "group" commands for groups.

	How would you go about it?  First, check out my last 2-3 posts
on this topic.  I really don't know what else to try except maybe a
clean installation (which shouldn't make any difference).

	I think you are better off to hide these columns than to try to
get rid of the standard tests.  They are harmless with default settings.

		That didn't work.  Here is my bb-hosts entry...
		
		142.78.43.171   opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca          #
NOCOLUMNS:msgs,ports,files,procs ctmoratst
		
		I made the change in bb-hosts, restarted the bb server
(although not required I think) and then dropped the tests using the
following commands.
		
		 bb 127.0.0.1 "drop opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca msgs"
		 bb 127.0.0.1 "drop opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca ports"
		 bb 127.0.0.1 "drop opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca files"
		 bb 127.0.0.1 "drop opsappsl.lac-bac.gc.ca procs"
		
		They keep coming back and I'm getting scared ;-)

		P.S. The ctmoratst works fine.

		Try adding NOCOLUMNS:ports to the host in bb-hosts.
