The hobbit client currently does not do any logfile checking, hence it
reports a "No log data" and a clear status for the "msgs" column.

If you must have logfile monitoring now, either look for a script on
www.deadcat.net (I think there are some), or implement your own check
and add it to the client/bin/hobbitclient-OSNAME.sh script so it
generates a "[msgs]" section with the stuff you want in the "msgs"
status column. Hobbit will pick up any "&clear", "&red" or "&yellow"
items you put in there, and change the color of the status accordingly.

"runclient.sh" is the startup script for a client-only installation. It
is not used on the Hobbit server, where the hobbitclient.sh script is
run via the hobbitlaunch.cfg file.
