Fantastic Henrik, I really appreciate you taking a look at this.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work, perhaps I have something misconfigured?
Here is what my setup looks like in hobbitlaunch.cfg:

[bbdisplay]
        ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        GROUP generators
        CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --tooltips=always
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-display.log
        INTERVAL 1m

I have also tried to toggle through all 3 settings and run the command
by hand with no change:

~hobbit/server/bin> bbcmd bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --tooltips=always

There is nothing logged.

You would think, but there is no core.  Regardless the snapshot runs
nice and smooth, error free minus the tooltips.
I am looking forward to using the next release, and probably will run
the snapshot version so I can restore our redundant hobbit servers.
