[hobbit] hobbit.sh not stopping server correctly

[j.sansford at ntlworld.com]

Hi there Jef,

I assume that question was aimed at me? The stop script stops "hobbitlaunch" and not a client - however the client is owned by hobbitlaunch as it is configured within hobbitlaunch.cfg - we don't run a separately owned client on the system.

Taking this out leaves less processes (although I don't want to leave it out forever so I'll have to do a bit of digging around to find out how to kill these gracefully) however because the iostats do not finish the SMF reports a failure rather than a disable when I try to stop the monitor. This means the SMF can't restart the bbserver if it ever crashes.
