[hobbit] Hobbit CONN questions

[Josh Luthman]

It's very simple.  Conn is a ping test - it pings your host (with one of two
utilities).

Example:

192.168.1.1  myrouter.domain.tld #

This will ping 192.168.1.1 on every poll cycle and report to you via the web
pages and email alerts if you've configured that in hobbit-alert.cfg
