Manually fed data

["Peters, Ron" <rpeters (at) columbia.com>]

Hello all,

I'm tired of beating my head against the wall and thought I'd ask the group.  My guess is that this is probably simple, but I'm not seeing it.

I have a client box in my DMZ that is only accessible via ssh.  The client is running and is regularly generating the msg.system_name.txt.  I'm attempting to feed that data into the server via the following command:

ssh client cat /usr/local/hobbit/client/tmp/msg.client.txt | /usr/local/hobbit/client/bin/bb --debug server "@"

The debug output looks successful as this is its display:

2008-11-04 07:53:28 Transport setup is:
2008-11-04 07:53:28 bbdportnumber = 1984
2008-11-04 07:53:28 bbdispproxyhost = NONE
2008-11-04 07:53:28 bbdispproxyport = 0

2008-11-04 07:53:28 Closing connection

The problem is that I'm not seeing any updates on the web interface.  The first time I tried to run the command, I did get the page updated, but subsequent updates seem to do nothing.  On the server, I've also run this to see if the server is actually receiving the data (which it is):

./bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=client --log=/tmp/duh.log hobbitd_client -debug

Of all the times I've attempted the update, I have 3 distinct data points where it was actually updated.  What am I missing?  It's obviously not clear to my dense head.

Thanks in advance.
