I don't think there's any one place to get this info. Once you know what
you're looking for, you'll find bits scattered through the manual pages for
bb-hosts and maybe bbtest-net.
o - open - is the service open?
r - reverse - reverse the status of the test. e.g. !conn would
show red if you *can* ping it
d - dialup - don't show red if the host is unreachable
a - always true - shows true state of the service. same as noclear in
bb-hosts
s - silent - make the test silent, not sending data to the
host. e.g. ssh:s
t - testip - test by ip from bb-hosts, instead of doing dns
lookup
l - dodns - set if a DNS lookup is needed
e - dnserror - set if the host's IP can't be found
I picked those bits out of the bbtest-net source files.
In bbnet/bbtest-net.c:
flags[i++] = (t->open ? 'O' : 'o');
flags[i++] = (t->reverse ? 'R' : 'r');
flags[i++] = ((t->dialup || t->host->dialup) ? 'D' : 'd');
flags[i++] = (t->alwaystrue ? 'A' : 'a');
flags[i++] = (t->silenttest ? 'S' : 's');
flags[i++] = (t->host->testip ? 'T' : 't');
flags[i++] = (t->host->dodns ? 'L' : 'l');
flags[i++] = (t->host->dnserror ? 'E' : 'e');
flags[i++] = '\0';
In bbnet/bbtest-net.h (not necessarily in this order):
int open; /* Is the service open ? NB: Shows true state
of service, ignores flags */
int reverse; /* "!testname" flag */
int dialup; /* "?testname" flag */
int alwaystrue; /* "~testname" flag */
int silenttest; /* "testname:s" flag */
int testip; /* testip flag (dont do dns lookups on
hostname) */
int dodns; /* set while loading tests if we need to do a
DNS lookup */
int dnserror; /* set internally if we cannot find the host's
IP */

I did not realize it was the 'cookie' value.
Does anyone know what the Flags stand for:
e.g. ordAstLe
Is there a chart somewhere showing the values?

ACKCODE
Is there a report that you can run from ‘bb’ program that will give you the
ACKCODE of a device that is still down?
If a device is down for an extended period of time, I want to send out an
escalation email and want to include the ACKCODE
so that the manager/supervisor can respond immediately.
