For those who might care in the future:
I got bb-nfs-client.sh working on RHEL/CentOS 4/5 (plus a couple of 
Fedora and RH9 boxes) by ripping out everything related to monitoring 
the size of NFS mounted filesystems, which I could care less about… 
there’s other code that does exactly that. I also had to add some 
environment variables that were not getting properly set (BBHOME, 
PING. BBOSTYPE), as far as I could tell. All I care about is whether 
the NFS mounts are available and not producing errors.
I’d be happy to share my stripped down version with anyone who cares 
in the future, if so, send me an email a thomleavitt (at) gmail.com.

I’m trying to get this running, so that I can monitor the NFS status 
of various hosts, and I’m getting the same error that everyone else 
(except T.J. Yang on Solaris) seems to be getting… all the servers are 
reported as being down.
I’m also not seeing the “nfs” column appear in the Hobbit home page, 
and when I click “history” by going directly to the NFS page (which 
indicates that the script is at least executing, although it produces 
no log file output), I get “Cannot open history file” as well.
But, primarily, I’d just like to get this to work properly, first. I 
can probably stumble through the process of debugging the script, but 
if anyone else can clue me in, I’d appreciate it.
Client is running CentOS 4.6, patched and up to date.
This is my clientlaunch.cfg entry:
[bb-nfs]
ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/bb-nfs-client.sh
LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/bb-nfs-client.log
INTERVAL 5m
I’ve created a blank “bb-def.sh” and put it in the “etc” directory.
Thanks in advance.
