[hobbit] How do you check the status from other column from scripts?

[Ralph Mitchell]

If you have access to the server, you can query the status table a lot
easier than that.  Look in the man page for the bb command.  You'll use
something like:

     server/bin/bb localhost 'hobbitdboard'

There's a bunch of arguments you can pass to pick out information by column
(test name), host name, color, &c.

Once you've worked out what you want, you can have your script launched by
xymon at regular intervals, in which case you'd use:

     $BB $BBDISP 'hobbitdboard arg1 arg2 etc"
