[hobbit] Script Delay

[Jeffcoat, Al]

Thanks very much for the reply (and Andy and Henrik also)...

However, the default time is in minutes, not seconds.  I was trying to
figure out why status+87600 wasn't turning purple after 24.5 hours :)

>From the man page (thanks again Andy).  "The LIFETIME is in minutes,
unless you add an "h" (hours), "d" (days) or "w" (weeks) immediately
after the number, e.g. "status+5h" for a status that is valid for 5
hours."

Thanks,

Al

Al,

Sure, just append the number of seconds to your status message (in the 
format of "+seconds" see example below). Hobbit will then not turn 
purple unless that time expires and no further status messages have been

received.

$BB $BBDISP "status+86400 $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date` &green This is
a green message that won't expire for 24 hours."
