[hobbit] windows monitor using hobbit help-newbie

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Santosh,
 
A UNIX Hobbit server can support Windows clients.  However, there are no
native windows clients, so people use either the Big Brother windows
client (available under the "better than free" license under specific
conditions) or a separately-developed Windows client called BBWin.
 
The details for setting up the Windows client vary by client.  In each
case, you have to tell the client the IP address of the Hobbit server,
so they know where to send status updates.  Each client has their own
startup method.  I am most familiar with the BB Windows client, and it
runs as a service, and there is a configuration program you can run to
set the various parameters.  Once this is set, the client runs
automatically.
