Hobbit: Run Scripts

Something like cfEngine may be more along the lines of what you are looking
for.  While it's possible to configure Hobbit to do this, it's sort of going
beyond what it is meant as: a monitoring system.

 Hi.


Why not use a cron job then?


Afaik, hobbit is not designed to be a deployment server.

Hi Gary,

This script needs to be run on all machines monitored by hobbit. The
script can be placed on all servers (a tedious job though - unless we cant
run the script from the hobbit server to the clients). The script gives a
snapshot of the server, which helps us in case of rebuilds.

Its not in response to a monitored condition, but is a generic script
which gives the snapshot, and would run regardless of any specific
condition.

Regards,
Sanu

Is the script to be run only on the machines monitored by Hobbit, and is
it already on those machines?  What is the script trying to do?

If the script is in response to a monitored condition, the best way to
accomplish that would be different than if it just runs at a specific time
regardless of any specific condition, which is why I ask.

Hi,

I am looking at being able to run a global script on all servers that are
monitored by Hobbit. How can i accomplish this task? (The script is created
by us and I am looking at incorporating this script to run at a specific
time weekly)

Any help/suggestion would be great.

Sanu
