Hello there,
i got some problems while trying to use the "query" option in hobbit.
At first : the BBServer and Client is up and running correct.

i already enabled and disabled different tests with the usual (bb $BBSERVER
"disable my,server,com.procs")comand.

But when i was trying to get infomation by using "query" nothing happend.

Here is what i am typing:
/opt/bb/bb16e1/bin/bb $BBSERVER "query my,server,com.procs"

the man page tells me that this is the exact sysntax, so now i am confused
...

i also tryed to get the debug mode running, but it wont work :/

somebody got any idea what i am doing wrong ?

Greetings & thx
Andi
From the command line you pasted, "/opt/bb/bb16e1/bin/bb", it looks like you are using a bb binary other than the one provided by hobbit ? You can confirm if this binary supports the debug flag by just issuing the, "bin/bb" command. It will list out the supported options.

I presently use BigBrother 1.9c w/ bbgen 3.6. The bb binary produced is able to successfully query the bb19c+bbgen3.6 server. But when I attempt to query my test Hobbit server, I will get a connection timeout. My solution was to take hobbit's bb binary, and copy it to my BigBrother server. I renamed it to bb2, and it can query BigBrother & Hobbit servers without a problem. so I just use the bb2 binary when I want to perform queries in my ext scripts.

Hope this helps,
