I'm after that second option - though when I telnet the port I don't get any
information back, can the test still be accomplished with this? There are
no welcome messages or anything of the sort =/

Is it possible to test a TCP port on a remote machine with the Hobbit

monitored.
Thanks,

You could do it at least two ways:
1. Have hobbit client on the remote machine check for the listening port
in netstat
2. Define the port in bb-services.cfg and add the tag for the new
service to your bb-hosts.
