[hobbit] alerts won't stop

[Larry Barber]

If you would read the initial messages in the thread, you will see that I
have done that, several times, both for the box as a whole and for the
specific test (conn) that is causing the problem. I have RTFM.

I did find an entry for the box in the hobbitd.chk file, I stopped hobbit,
removed the line that referenced said box and restarted hobbit, we will see
if this cures the problem. It is not a method that I would recommend,
however.

Thanks,
Larry Barber
