Re: [hobbit] Secondary ping?

Ive unix and linux system but script is a script.
>Is this because it is a cluster or something?
No I think it because the network team makes changes but tell no one AND the attitude "well it works for Windoze boxes" .
But it may and I believe can be due too other network problems, like too much traffic. Probable what I'll is a script . Now ,I don't think that a route actually need to be network hardware; at least I've routed though servers before in one card out another. 

I was thinking of  something like  hobbit server
xxx.xxx.xxx Hostb # route:router1,Hosta route2,router3

Or setting up a bbnet on Hosta

Or as you say a script.
Looking to see If others have handed this problem through hobbit before I did something or if some would say ; "Yes use route or bbnet would be better choice or something else ."!

So, you need to know when HostA can't ping HostB? Is this because it is a cluster or something?
I would suggest a simple vbscript on HostA and HostB that pings the other and puts the results (green or red) in a file. Then just pass that to BBWin or use bbsend.exe as an alternative to Hobbit. You could call the new status column something like 'cluster' or 'interconnect' ... whatever.
I don't think that route or anything will work for this, as these are not routers are they?

            What exactly are you after? If the problem is that HostA
            cannot ping
            HostB all the time then this points to a networking issue:
            Firewall?
            Dodgy network cable? Too much traffic and too short a
            time-out?

            If your Hobbit server can ping both hosts then it's doing
            its job and
            there are no problems, with Hobbit at least...

            Heres the problem my hobbit server can ping HostA and
            HostB but SOMETIMES HostA and HostB
            cannot ping each other .  Besides a client side script,
            anyone think of a way to do this  and take advantage of
            hobbit functionality. BBNET?  route ? something else?
