[hobbit] bb cmd protocol? (was [hobbit] Windows version of a fully functional bb command)

[Henrik Stoerner]

The description of the "Message Syntax" in the man-page is what you need
to know. Hobbit uses plain TCP, and data being transferred is plain
text. I.e.

   - connect to tcp port 1984
   - send "status www,foo,com.mytest green"
   - close the connection


Regards,
Henrik
