Re: [hobbit] URL monitoring

Thanks for your reply Henrik.
I'm all for avoiding reinventing the wheel :)

Do you have any suggestions on how to mate a rapidly changing list of URLs
with the bb-hosts file?
Also, I assume that hobbit, like bb, requires a restart whenever bb-hosts
changes?

Finally, has anyone compiled a list of differences between bb and hobbit,
sort of like "Hobbit for BB admins"?  I've encountered some minor
differences here and there, which is not unexpected.

I'm obviously biased, but I think you'll find Hobbit a lot more
efficient at testing your URL's than any script using wget.

Now, the way Hobbit's URL testing reports results might not be what you
want - it is after all designed to report data to a Hobbit server. I
don't know what you plan to do with all of your test results ... But
I think it should be possible to tweak the network test tool to report
in a format suitable for what you need.
