We have had several complete failures of the hobbit client when it hangs trying to look at remote file systems.  Do you think the -l option should be the default?
    
Yes. Done.

  
Cool, thank you!
I was also wondering if 'bbcmd' could be upgraded to accommodate different home directories?
    
Use the --env option.

  
Ok, but I still get this...

../bin/bbcmd --env=../etc/hobbitclient.cfg perl bb-se.pl
2006-06-30 11:24:22 xgetenv: Cannot find value for variable HOBBITCLIENTHOME
Could not open file: /etc/bb-proctab
  error: No such file or directory

Because:

more ../etc/hobbitclient.cfg
.
.
# You normally dont need to modify anything below here
BBPORT="1984"                   # Portnumber where hobbitd listens
BBHOME="$HOBBITCLIENTHOME"      # Directory for the Hobbit client files

Obviously, I could hack around that, but I was hoping to avoid doing so.  I just thought if runclient.sh could figure it out programmatically so could bbcmd?
