[hobbit] Hobbit Installation Issue

Since you changed the home directory from /usr/local/hobbit to /home/hobbit,
I suspect that there may still be something pointing to /usr/local/hobbit.
Grep through the configuration files in the Xymon etc directory looking for
anything pointing to /usr/local. You might also check the scripts in bin.

Thanks,
Larry Barber
