Okay I came up with a workaround. The problem is that CONFIGCLASS
gets reset to a default value (in hobbitclient.cfg). So, I created
another variable, "CLASS". I then made a small mod to hobbitclient.sh
that checks to see if CLASS got set to something, and if it did, it
sets CONFIGCLASS to that value. Here are the changes:

I also just discovered that CONFIGCLASS gets converted to lowercase
(which I should have seen plain as day in the sed command). However
this is not the problem as the CONFIGCLASS in the client message is
still using the default value of BBOSTYPE. I'm currently attempting
to hack in a work around.

I did some poking around, and as far as I can tell, the problem is
due to hobbitclient.cfg overriding the CONFIGCLASS variable.
Here are some snippets from runclient.sh:
--class=*)
CONFIGCLASS="`echo $1 | sed -e 's/--class=//' | tr
'[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`"
export MACHINE MACHINEDOTS BBOSTYPE BBOSSCRIPT HOBBITCLIENTHOME
CONFIGCLASS
hobbitclient.cfg contains this:
./hobbitclient.cfg:CONFIGCLASS="$BBOSTYPE" # Default
configuration class for logfiles
hobbitclient.sh uses the CONFIGCLASS variable when sending the
client message:
./bin/hobbitclient.sh:echo "client $MACHINE.$BBOSTYPE
$CONFIGCLASS" >> $MSGTMPFILE
Heres the actual client message header Im sending (not that
CONFIGCLASS is being set to "linux" instead of the specified class:
client host-app-23.linux linux

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm currently dead in the water
without this working as it should. I tried emailing Henrik as
well but I'm sure he is too busy to reply.

I have a host whose client was started via: "./runclient.sh
--class=APP_PRIMARY start"
In the hobbit servers hobbit-clients.cfg, I have something
similar to:
CLASS=APP_PRIMARY
PROC "someproc"
PROC "/some/other/proc"
....
DEFAULT
PROC sshd
The problem is that only the default proc "sshd" is being checked
on the host. The expected behavior is that the CLASS would be
used and other other procs checked instead. I know this has
nothing to do with the DEFAULT setting, as using HOST=hostname
works fine. I just cant get it to check the procs by CLASS. Is
there any way to debug this? Shouldn't the CLASS show up in the
"info" section? Do I need to put the class name in quotes on the
command line?
