I deleted everything in the temp folder to see if something in there
could be the issue, and unbeknownst to me I deleted the checkpoint file.
I found that out when I was finally able to find a way to start the
service. Everything showed up all messed up and I figured it would just
take time for it to sort through all of its issues, but I've still got a
half dozen no-status yet services, and a boatload of them are still
purple.
hobbitd has been yellow since I finally got it back up, and I still get
the same "Ignored PURPLE status" from all of the custom scripts my
overseas counterparts wrote, but now they're accompanied by a large
wealth of "Bogus status message contains no data: Sent from hobbitd"
messages.
Is this something that'll eventually work itself out? It's been up for
about 2 hours now and it's still getting plenty of these messages.
Thanks,
Brian Thompson

Check your ~/server/tmp directory. If there is a socket file called
hobbitd_if there, delete it, then try restarting your server.
If Hobbit crashes, this gets me every time. Not that Hobbit crashes
that often, but I test it with new client data stream data and back end
code for that data. Sometimes it gets a little upset... :)

As far as I'm aware, yes. I'm completely green about all of hobbit
still, so far my involvement with it has been very much so on the
surface, any issues I've had with hobbit itself have been resolved by
a reboot, which I assume would restart the client. I'm sure I'm
falling into the "you know what they say what happens when you assume"
clause right about now...
Anyways, I found this in the /var/log/hobbit/history.log
2007-04-27 11:50:02 Worker process died with exit code 15, terminating
That's one minute past the time that's frozen on my hobbit web view.
I also found that I had put in an erroneous alert message format in
the hobbit-alerts.cfg file. It filled up the page.log file right
quick with errors about that, right up until the moment it stopped
reporting. I fixed that and tried another restart to no avail.
I'm totally lost with this stuff. The joys of hand-me-downs :-/
