I am inthe unfortunate situation of not having a test environment to test withand would appreciate getting a head start on others exeprience. Anyspecific RPM for hobbit that is known to work on the ESX3 host, detailson dependency packages that were required would be most welcome.

Change is good. See what's different about Windows Live Hotmail. Check it out! <www.windowslive-hotmail.com/learnmore/default.html?locale=en-us&ocid=RMT_TAGLM_HMWL_reten_changegood_0607>
Our ESX3 servers run a client compiled on RHEL3.
The user running Hobbit has to be authorized -sudo- to use "esxtop" and "vdf" utilities.
The sections [uptime], [df] and [top] in hobbitclient-linux.sh are modified like this:
...
...
# VMware ESX3 support
vmnix=`uname -r | grep "vmnix"`
...
...
echo "[uptime]"
if [ $vmnix ]; then
# "uptime" only reports about the ESX console load.
# Use "esxtop" to report the total load.
echo `uptime | cut -d: -f1-4`: `sudo esxtop -n 1 -b | head -2 | tail -1 | awk -F\, '{print $5 " " $6 " " $7}' | awk -F\" '{print $2", "$4", "$6}'`
else
uptime
fi
echo "[who]"
who
echo "[df]"
if [ $vmnix ]; then
# Use "vdf" to report about vmfs file systems
sudo /usr/sbin/vdf -P | egrep -v "\/vmfs\/devices|none|tmpfs|shmfs|unknown|iso9660"
else
df -Pl -x none -x tmpfs -x shmfs -x unknown -x iso9660 | sed -e '/^[^ ][^ ]*$/{
N
s/[ ]*\n[ ]*/ /
}'
fi
...
...
# $TOP must be set, the install utility should do that for us if it exists.
if test "$TOP" != ""
then
if test -x "$TOP"
then
echo "[top]"
if [ ! $vmnix ]; then
# Do not use top on ESX3 (only reports about the console)
$TOP -b -n 1
