Hi,

I had added a test that after some thinking was not reaally needed.
I decided to delete it, and its history.
I looked at tips and tricks, and tried to run '~/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME dns" ', which did not work apparently.
So I went into the ~/data directory, and deleted in hist, histlogs and logs all the data concerning this test.
However, on the main page, I still had the test, which was no longer updated, but still existed.

It took me some time to find that in ~/server/tmp/ there is a file named hobbitd.chk which does not disappear when you stop/start hobbit.
Deleting this file apparently forced hobbit to recreate it, and this time my deleted test had disappeared.

Is that the expected behaviour ?

Regards, and keep up the great work you re doing on Hobbit.

Stephane
