DHCP server monitor

["Savigni ing. Roberto" <r.savigni (at) ausl.fe.it>]

Good Morning.
 
I've installed Hobbit on a BB server.
It is able to monitor everything I need except DHCP daemon.
The DHCP server is the same of BB server in the main location, while
I've 3 more DHCP servers in remote locations (each running bb-client).
I've tried to use the external program that make the use of DHCPING
(bb-dhcp) that I've found on deadcat.net, but this is not able to
dhcping -s localhost.
 
In BBSERVER I've added the following line in $BBHOME/bin/bb-network.sh
to test it and it works

        if test "$?" = "0"
        then
              LINE="DHCP Server on ${FULLNAME} down"
              echo "$NONETPAGE" | $GREP "dhcp" > /dev/null 2>&1
              if test $? = "1"        # NOT FOUND - PAGE
              then
                     COLOR="red"
              else
                     COLOR="yellow"
                     LINE="$LINE - configured not to page"
               fi
        else
              COLOR="green"
              LINE="DHCP Server OK"
        fi
 
        $BB $BBDISP "status ${MACHINE}.dhcp $COLOR `date` $LINE"
;;

Any suggestion on how I can made the same check with Hobbit?
 
Thanks in advance
