Re: [hobbit] Server side EXT script not running or appearing on web page

I originally looked at that, I've since concluded it's dodgy documentation
in that it's not specific or complete. The first bit is for client side,
the server-side bit lacks the final steps.

Cheers,

Here's how to do it:

In ~/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg add:

[NGssh]
    ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
    NEEDS hobbitd
    CMD $BBHOME/ext/NGssh.sh
    LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/NGssh.log
    INTERVAL 5m


In ~/server/ext/NGssh.sh add:

#!/bin/sh
BBHTAG=NGssh           # What we put in bb-hosts to trigger this test
COLUMN=NGssh    # Name of the column, often same as tag in bb-hosts
$BBHOME/bin/bbhostgrep $BBHTAG | while read L
do
  set $L    # To get one line of output from bbhostgrep
  HOSTIP="$1"
  MACHINEDOTS="$2"
  MACHINE=`echo $2 | $SED -e's/\./,/g'`
  MSG="$BBHTAG status for host $MACHINEDOTS"
  reply=`ssh $MACHINE -l hobbit /usr/ucb/whoami`
  if [ "$reply" = "hobbit" ]
  then
    COLOR=green
  else
    COLOR=red
  fi
  $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date`
  ${MSG}
  "
done
exit 0


In your ~/server/etc/bb-hosts add:
