No...that is actually your grep command you ran...if this is the only
output then hobbit is not running.  The other question here is do you
have apache running on 10.176.10.69...I doubt it based on the error.

Subject: Re: [hobbit] Re: little help here

when i run it..it gives the following.
TM:/home/hobbit/server/etc # ps -ef|grep hobbitlaunch
root     13113 13104  0 16:53 pts/2    00:00:00 grep hobbitlaunch.

does that mean it is okay?..if so..then how comes when i try to open the
hobbit application itself..i get something like this..
"An error occurred while loading http://10.176.10.69/hobbit/:
Could not connect to host 10.176.10.69."

Thank you.

When you tried to find the process, did you use the arguments ef for
ps?
Try running ps -ef|grep hobbitlaunch  If that process is not running,
your
bbd is obviously not running and therefor not performing any tests.

I've confirmed this works on my server - CentOS5 (a RHEL distro).

well what i described is just how we try to ensure that it is
running,
more client side than anything else, but starting and stopping it
very
specific to the OS.

we use red hat and typically 'service hobbitclient start' would start
the client for us, this gets done at startup by red hat's init
scripts
etc.

you may find more luck trying the mailing lists/documentation of the
OS
you use, to figure out how services and started/stopped etc

Hi Patel,
The hobbitlaunch wasnt seen in the running processes..how can i
enable
it??
Thanks
we use ps and grep in a script to ensure that the hobbitlaunch
process
is running, and run that script in cron periodically, mailing if
hobbitlaunch isn't found..
