Re: [hobbit] custom scripts

[Josh Luthman <josh (at) imaginenetworksllc.com>]

1.
Look at http://xymon.com/hobbit-cgi/viewconf.sh
172.16.10.5 miro.hswn.dk # ssh http://miro.hswn.dk/

Then look at the miro.hswn.dk server under the http column here:
http://xymon.com/hobbit/servers/servers.html

Just put your information in.  No custom script needed.

2.
I can't help with custom scripts but the document expressed you need to...

# Tell Hobbit about it
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date`

and you have not done that in your script - that's definitely a concern.
Perhaps looking at other scripts will help you - these are on the Deadcat
and Xymonton here:
