At risk of covering an already well worn topic (I did check the archives first, I swear) I'm getting two strange behaviors that may be related.

I've inherited a Hobbit server that was working fine until the unit was reset (rudely), and since then it's been working but has been a little funky.
What version of Hobbit is this ? If you don't known, running
"~hobbit/server/bin/bbgen --version" should tell you.
In my bb-display.log and bb-network I see:
2005-10-11 16:10:39 Could not connect to bbd at 127.0.0.1:1984 - Connection refused
2005-10-11 16:10:39 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed
2005-10-11 16:10:39 hobbitd status-board not available
Could you check the "hobbitlaunch.log" file in the same directory
if there's any mention of the "hobbitd" task terminating with
a signal or a non-zero exit code ?
Also, perhaps related, I have a few servers in my bb-hosts file that are configured to check http which go into alarm for periods for no apparent reason.
Hmm - I don't see any relation in this to the other problem you have,
but let's handle one problem at a time :-)
