[Xymon] bb: Argument list too large long

[Shiels, David]

A couple of caveats to upping the message size, the history will store the whole thing for every state change, if the server has a largish number of hosts you can overwhelm the listening daemon.

Check the MAXMSG_STATUS in hobbitserver.cfg, and take a look at your logs.  You might be getting a message about oversized status messages.  You can change the value in hobbitserver.cfg if needed.

When trying to send a simple status message to hobbit (yes still at that level) , along the line of : /path_to_bb/bb my_hobbit_host "status+1d page.subpage green `date` `cat /somefile`"

"somefile" is rather large, some 428k and I can confirm it works fine if I make "somefile" much smaller.

Is there a way around this?   The idea is to have this file as a page for reference.  I personally think a better solution is to use access or excel (in mswords), but . . .  boss wants it this way.
