[hobbit] Custom script shows purple

[Scott Ryan]

Is the script being executed? Assuming it is, have you configured the
server to only expect the check to be run every 4 hours? If not it
will go purple after 30 minutes every time as that is the default
check timeout.

If the script is not running at all, what do the xymon logs say? If it
has an issue running the script you should see it in the logs. You
could check that the xymon user has the rights to execute the script.

Thanks
