Thomas:
I see the same thing on AIX 5.1 ML07 machines. In the script: hobbitclient-aix.sh change this line from:
netstat -an | grep "^tcp"
to
netstat -an | grep "^tcp" | head -5000
Most likely the netstat command is looping on the same MAC. The above line fixed the problem.
Regards,
Jim

As you can see a file reached 500M in size !! You could notice that some
files were created by 'root'. Well... it's not good 'cause that meaned someone in my team launched Hobbit with this account ! Anyway, it's not the first time I see such size for this file on the machine. How may I prevent that ?
Sincerly,
Thomas
