Re: [hobbit] Editing thresholds from a web page.

[Steve Holmes <sholmes42 (at) gmail.com>]

Nope. Sorry. I got 0.2 and here are the changes I made to selection_page.pl.
The additions of the two 'next' statements are just speedups (I think :-),
but the critical change is the way you are testing to see if a line is a
real host line or not. All of my hosts have an IP of 0.0.0.0, and it looks
like you are wanting the second character of the line to be a digit, but
since the second character of my line is a dot ('.') it never matches. This
works for me wrt getting the hosts loaded, but it still doesn't change the
config file.

Thanks,
Steve
