[hobbit] Need help in hobbit monitor

[Martin Flemming]

to 3)

i think NOCOLUMNS is want you want ....

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(1) utility to drop them, or 
they will go purple.

man5/bb-hosts.5.html

cheers,
