how to implement custom tests

I installed Hobbit on my (former) BB server.  The clients are reporting
in normally.  However, I have some tests for hosts (NetApp, Tandem -
that have no BB client) that run on the BB server and use the bb
executable to "trick" the server into thinking it received it from an
external client.  For example:

exec("/opt/bb/bin/bb", $IP, "status $machine.$test $color $now\n 
$status\n 
@array\n 
")
  or die( "$1: Couldn't execute BB");


Is there an equivalent function on the Hobbit server that can accomplish
this without having both BB and Hobbit installed?
