Hi Dominique

you can use this :

$ /BB/hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd bbtest-net hades
2006-03-13 09:13:47 Using default environment file 
/BB/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg


All the parameters (like "--debug", to see the results before their 
transmission to hobbitd) can be added :


$ /BB/hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd bbtest-net hades --debug
2006-03-13 09:14:46 Using default environment file 
/BB/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
Command: bbtest-net 'hades' '--debug'
Environment BBLOCATION=''
Environment CONNTEST='TRUE'
Environment IPTEST_2_CLEAR_ON_FAILED_CONN='TRUE'
[...]
2006-03-13 09:14:47 Calc content color host hades : 2006-03-13 09:14:47
