[hobbit] Disabling of tests

[Russell.Cook at synetrix.co.uk]

I still seem to have a problem doing a disable until OK - I have a test script that tries to run the following command:
$BBHOME/bin/bbcmd $BBHOME/bin/bb xx.xx.xx.xx 'disable device-hostname.COLUMN -1 Test disabled by script' ... but it fails to work.

If I substitute the -1 for 20 it works fine. The other rather odd thing is I do a "set -x" in the script and cut-and-paste the line from my logfile onto the command line, the line with the -1 works perfectly. Running the bb command with the --debug option gives identical results for both -1 and 20 ... any ideas?

Regards
Russell Cook

Disabled tests still run, they just don't trigger alerts.

Use "-1" as the "time" value.
