Iv'e got a question about Hobbit,
The helpfile says : By default, Hobbit will always check if the host is up
and running by trying to "ping" it. This results in a *conn* column on the
Hobbit webpage for this host, showing if the ping-test succeeded. If you
have a host that does not respond to ping - e.g. because there is a firewall
that filters out such requests - then you can disable the ping-test by
putting a "noconn" keyword on the line in bb-hosts.

But this doesn't work!

My line is:  0.0.0.0      (website)    # noconn

But the connection icon stays red.
If you started out without the "noconn", then there is a "conn" status
that you must explicitly delete. You do this with
   bb 127.0.0.1 "drop website conn"
Also the icons fomr the Hobbit server itself are truning purple? How can i
switch them back to green??
Purple means they are not being updated. Did you change the hostname of
your Hobbit server in the bb-hosts file ?
