Alternatively, you could modify the HP-UX client script to generate a
normal Hobbit "msgs" section with the text-output from the netfmt
command; then Hobbit can process it as if it were an ordinary text-based
logfile.

E.g. at the bottom of the hobbitclient-hp-ux.sh script running on your
clients, just before the "exit" command add this:

   echo "[msgs:/var/adm/nettl.LOG000]"
   netfmt ...whatever needs to go here to get the text-output ...

Then you can use a normal log-file entry on the Hobbit server to process
the log data.
