[hobbit] Extend timers to avoid purples

[Kevin.Hanrahan at novainfo.com]

OK, ...thanks for the reply... I tried that, I think.

I made a custom script for checking domain registration expiration dates and
I am calling it from hobbitlaunch as such:

	[Domain Registration]
        CMD /home/hobbit/server/ext/ext-domainname.sh
        INTERVAL 1400m



I am passing the status of the test (using an allready existing BB test)
like this:



	#  Get Status proc - used to get all responses
#
get_status()
{
   DaysLeft=`$PROBE $1`
   RESULT="OK: Remaining days - $DaysLeft"
   COLOR="green"

   if [ "$DaysLeft" != "Record not found" ]
   then
      if [ "$DaysLeft" -le "$DAYSLEFTWARN" ]
      then
         RESULT="WARNING: Remaining days - $DaysLeft"
         COLOR="yellow"
      fi
      if [ "$DaysLeft" -le "$DAYSLEFTERROR" ]
      then
         RESULT="ERROR: Remaining days - $DaysLeft"
         COLOR="red"
      fi
   else
      RESULT="ERROR: $DaysLeft"
      COLOR="red"
   fi
   echo "$COLOR+1430m `date` $RESULT"

}

#  Main body
$GREP "$TEST" $BBHOSTS |
while read line; do
    TESTNAME=`echo "$line" | awk '{print $2}'`
    STATUS=`get_status $TESTNAME`
    if [ ! -z "$STATUS" ]
    then
        # NOW USE THE BB COMMAND TO SEND THE DATA ACROSS
        SDISPLAY="status $TESTNAME.$TEST $STATUS"
        echo "$SDISPLAY" >> /tmp/ext-domainname.output
        $BB $BBDISP "$SDISPLAY"
    fi
done
	


After 30 minutes it always goes purple! I thought I was adding 1430 minutes
to the result time...am I wrong?


I am no coder so please be patient but I could use some direction here
please.


Thank you


kevin

Or do a "man bb".

Except I hadn't gotten around to describing the full syntax of the status
command. It's in there now.

Hobbit also accepts "status+25h"
