Re: [hobbit] Is there a way to clone host definitions in bb-hosts?

["Josh Luthman" <josh (at) imaginenetworksllc.com>]

What I do in cases of this are to use for, if/then kind of things.

Example, I have a log that sticks in lines like

1.2.3.4 n y
2.2.5.6 x z

And I find repeating lines by IP in $1 then get a count of them using wc.

I can show you the script if this didn't come out clear.
