[hobbit] BBWin and procs & svcs

[McGraw, Robert P]

I have to say installing BBwin was as easy. I just followed the direction in
http://bbwin.sourceforge.net/ for V4.2. I guess it would have been easier if
I was running V4.3. I had to  tweak the BBwin.cfg file but again nothing
major. 

 

One thing that made it easier for me is that I have cygwin installed on my
W2K3 client. The BBWin.cfg and the tmp/msg. files are not very readable with
notepad and so I just used the UNIX vi and did all my work within cygwin
window.

 

Again the only problem that I had was not finding information on the format
of the SVC line for hobbit-client.cfg and this seems to be resolved in V4.3

 

Thanks again.

 

Robert

I guess it would be helpful if there was a one stop wiki article on how to
setup centralized mode for BBwin and hobbit. I'm planning to do the same
thing once my workload is lightened, but I want more information on
configuration before I start messing around with this stuff. Anyone have a
suggestion? I might solve a lot of questions if there was examples on this.

I was looking thought the hobbit archives and came across an example of how
to setup hobbit-client.cfg to monitor the svcs.  I have look through the
documentation, BBWin forum, and the hobbit archive  and found only one
reference. So here is what I found and it seems to work.

 

SVC AGDIGESTSVC startup=automatic status=started color=red

 

If someone can tell me where I can get more information or documentation on
the SVC  it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks for all your help.

Robert, I don't do anything on the server side. BBWin just sends its stuff
to the server and the server reports on it.
