Al,

Sure, just append the number of seconds to your status message (in the 
format of "+seconds" see example below). Hobbit will then not turn 
purple unless that time expires and no further status messages have been 
received.

$BB $BBDISP "status+86400 $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date` &green This is a green message that won't expire for 24 hours."
