Extend timers to avoid purples

OK, ...thanks for the reply... I tried that, I think.

I made a custom script for checking domain registration expiration dates and
I am calling it from hobbitlaunch as such:

	[Domain Registration]
        CMD /home/hobbit/server/ext/ext-domainname.sh
        INTERVAL 1400m


I am passing the status of the test (using an allready existing BB test)
like this:


	#  Get Status proc - used to get all responses
#
get_status()
{
   DaysLeft=`$PROBE $1`
   RESULT="OK: Remaining days - $DaysLeft"
   COLOR="green"

   if [ "$DaysLeft" != "Record not found" ]
   then
      if [ "$DaysLeft" -le "$DAYSLEFTWARN" ]
      then
         RESULT="WARNING: Remaining days - $DaysLeft"
         COLOR="yellow"
      fi
      if [ "$DaysLeft" -le "$DAYSLEFTERROR" ]
      then
         RESULT="ERROR: Remaining days - $DaysLeft"
         COLOR="red"
      fi
   else
      RESULT="ERROR: $DaysLeft"
      COLOR="red"
   fi
   echo "$COLOR+1430m `date` $RESULT"

}

#  Main body
$GREP "$TEST" $BBHOSTS |
while read line; do
    TESTNAME=`echo "$line" | awk '{print $2}'`
    STATUS=`get_status $TESTNAME`
    if [ ! -z "$STATUS" ]
    then
        # NOW USE THE BB COMMAND TO SEND THE DATA ACROSS
        SDISPLAY="status $TESTNAME.$TEST $STATUS"
        echo "$SDISPLAY" >> /tmp/ext-domainname.output
        $BB $BBDISP "$SDISPLAY"
    fi
done
	

After 30 minutes it always goes purple! I thought I was adding 1430 minutes
to the result time...am I wrong?


I am no coder so please be patient but I could use some direction here
please.


Thank you


kevin

Can anybody tell me how to get a test to avoid purples if it is only 
run once a day?  Thanks

As Hobbit doesn't have it's own client (yet!), I'll assume it 
understands all of the standard bb client options.

If you read the help pages on the bb4.org site

Or do a "man bb".

Except I hadn't gotten around to describing the full syntax of the status
command. It's in there now.

When you call the bb client executable from your script, change 
"status" to "status+1440" in the message header for the lifetime to be 
24 hours.

Hobbit also accepts "status+25h"
