I have an interesting problem, on of our servers running our own

replaced the script with one that does work (it is running on one of our
other servers) then started hobbit (/usr/local/hobbit/client/runclient
--hostname=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx start) when I ran the status after this it
said it was not running so I ran ps and found the processes were there,
so I killed them off and tried again, same result so I killed them off
changed the hostname to the fully qualified domain name and started
hobbit, success-ish the status reports it is running
Note that you'll need the --hostname option even for a "status" check
since the hostname is used for the status files.
no ghost reports on the server, the only problem is all the tests from that
script are coming back purple, yet I haven't changed clientlaunch etc.
Check that the script you copied from another server uses the correct
IP when sending in status messages to the Hobbit server. Or perhaps it
has a different PATH setting built-in, so it cannot find the "bb"
command ... The client logfile should have some more info.
If all else fails, a simple
date >>/tmp/myscript.log
added near the beginning of the log will at least tell you if the script
runs at all.
