RE: [hobbit] Configuration question - got it working!

["Daniel Elswit" <de21 (at) cornell.edu>]

Whew. finally got this working.  I ended up recompiling everything from
scratch and it worked perfectly the first time.  I had already done that
once, early on, but I guess the third time is the charm.  Anyway, thanks
everyone for all the very helpful information!

Do you get anything after the "close connection"??  I get a bunch of

   init_state(host,domain,com.test, -567484, ...)
   find_or_create_column(test)
   init_state: hostname=host.domain.com, testname=test, color=0......

one for each column for each host.  What do yuo get from this command:

   server/bin/bb localhost "hobbitdboard
fields=hostname,testname,color,flags,lastchange,logtime,validtime,acktime,di
sabletime,sender,cookie,line1,acklist"

That's all on one line.  It's what bbgen does immediately after logging
"load_state()"

OK.  What I did to get that log was: stop hobbit, change the bbdisplay entry
in server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg to read:

     CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --debug

then I renamed the bb-display.log file and restarted hobbit.  The log
fragment I posted came from the new bb-display.log during/after it read
through the bb-hosts file.

I guess you wouldn't need to stop/start Hobbit, as it's trying to launch
bbgen every minute...

The bbdisplay errors continue to occur every few minutes.

Strangely, bben -debug shows that it cooks right through the bb-hosts file

-version runs properly and shows the correct version.  I'm beginning to
wonder if the bbgen file itself is corrupted. 


This is what I get in my bb-display.log after a restart.  The first two
lines below are the last two from bb-hosts - a blank comment line and an
include:

Do you get the "load_state()" ??
