[hobbit] completely confused

[Tim Rotunda]

I give up.  I am going mad trying to hobbitize BB-Central.  Too
complicated for a non-author to rewrite without more details.  Sorry for
those who were looking forward to BB-Central-For-Hobbit version 1.0.

Instead of rewriting something I didn't write, don't know, requires BB
Client, and think is way to complicated for my feeble brain, I have
created HobbitCentral Version 0.1a.  In its very early state, it
consists of a C program called ipxfer, a script called hobcen.sh, a
config file called hobcen.cfg and a data file called xfer.dat.

I am deploying initially to my remote HP-UX servers and will figure out
how to release the HP-UX version when I am satisfied that it works well
enough for an initial release.  I have only written free software for
the FlightSim community so I will have to learn how to do it for the
real world.

I will tweak it for Linux after I have released the HP version.

Updates as they become available.
Tim

Well, this one has me stumped.

Getting it to run was pretty easy, but it appears to be rather
broken.

The main script bb-central.pl generates bb-central.sh, which has the
commands needed to login to a remote system via ssh and retrieve data.
The only problem is that it generates an ssh command that just logs
in; then it sits there in an interactive session and does nothing.

As far as I can see, the perl-script should add the commands needed to
collect the data, but it doesn't. I even tried setting it up to run
under a BB client, and it gives me the same problem.

I think I'll post to the BB list and see if the author has some idea
about what's going on.
