Do you get anything after the "close connection"??  I get a bunch of

   init_state(host,domain,com.test, -567484, ...)
   find_or_create_column(test)
   init_state: hostname=host.domain.com, testname=test, color=0......

one for each column for each host.  What do yuo get from this command:

   server/bin/bb localhost "hobbitdboard
fields=hostname,testname,color,flags,lastchange,logtime,validtime,acktime,disabletime,sender,cookie,line1,acklist"

That's all on one line.  It's what bbgen does immediately after logging
"load_state()"

OK.  What I did to get that log was: stop hobbit, change the bbdisplay
entry in server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg to read:

     CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report --debug

then I renamed the bb-display.log file and restarted hobbit.  The log
fragment I posted came from the new bb-display.log during/after it read
through the bb-hosts file.

I guess you wouldn't need to stop/start Hobbit, as it's trying to launch
bbgen every minute...

My bb-display.log has not updated in 2 days (not since I had an initial
problem related to a missing library that was resolved.)  I don't see any of
what you have below.  The hobbitd.log says "Setup complete".  Upon starting
of the service, hobbitlaunch.log says:

The bbdisplay errors continue to occur every few minutes.

 Strangely, bben –debug shows that it cooks right through the bb-hosts
file and then after the last line, aborts with no further information.
bbgen –version runs properly and shows the correct version.  I'm beginning
to wonder if the bbgen file itself is corrupted.


This is what I get in my bb-display.log after a restart.  The first two
lines below are the last two from bb-hosts - a blank comment line and an
include:

Do you get the "load_state()" ??
