RE: [hobbit] Monitoring SMB shares

[<shea_greg (at) emc.com>]

What I've found is that the BBEXT variable in bbdef.sh was not the
preferred way to run external scripts,

but to use bb-bbexttab instead.  The format of the bb-bbexttab
"localhost : : bb-wcheck.pl;900" meant

upon startup run this extension script every 900 seconds.

 

So Ralph is right on with the hobbitlaunch.cfg or cron suggestions

 

Hope this helps

I *think* that the BBEXT variable in BB is for a list of the external
test scripts to be executed.  Those would be migrated to the
hobbitlaunch.cfg file.

 

You can also use cron to execute the external script - I've done that
successfully for years.  You'll need to make sure your script executes
with the hobbit/xymon environment.  You can do that using bbcmd.

Essentially, I just need to be able to define a different type of
network test / external test to be performed by the Xymon server itself.
I can't figure out where the bbdef.sh logic went in the switch over to
Hobbit/Xymon. Or maybe that type of testing isn't supported anymore with
Hobbit/Xymon?

this solution on DeadCat called "shares" that is meant to be setup on a
BB server. However, it mentioned editing bbdef.sh to include shares.sh
in the BBEXT variable and I just didn't know where to do this in Xymon
