Yes. But it won't do anything useful unless you also modify dnsreg.sh to 
consume those numeric suffixes.

You might try some lines like:

HOUR=`/usr/bin/date +%H`
/usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/bbhostgrep "dnsreg:$HOUR" | while read L

I don't know what OS or shell you are using. But the idea is to make 
your bbhostgrep match only the correctly tagged lines. I use Solaris so 
I get the number of the current hour with /usr/bin/date. You might use 
some other utility or parameter.

Another way to do it is to leave the bbhostsgrep line alone and put a 
conditional inside the 'do'. But that is going to depend on what fields 
have been returned in L  I don't know how bbhostsgrep differs from 
xymongrep, so I'll have to leave that as an exercise for the reader.
