[Xymon] external script not working

Hi Rodney,

if I understand you correctly , then you run your script on the Hobbit
Server, right?
Then you should see a green dot on the line where your server is with
the name test.
And if you do, then your script is working fine.
If not, then please have a look at test.log and check for any unusual
messages regarding your script.

BUT(!) if you want your script to display the green dot named test on
the lines of server1 and server2 then you have to copy it to the clients
and run it from there.

In both cases there is no need of specifying the keyword test in bb-hosts.

If your script is already on the clients server1 and server2 and you
made the entries on the clients in hobbitlaunch.cfg then the problem
might be that your clients do not have a hobbitd running.

HTH
