I didn't see anyone respond to this, so I'll jump in.  There isn't a msgs
test in the hobbit client, which it sounds like you've noticed.  It looks
like the hobbit server turns the msgs test clear when using the hobbit
client.  I copied bb-msgs.sh from the bin directory of my BB client.
You'll have to copy some other files too, like bb-combo.sh and touchtime.

You'll also have to add --no-clear-msgs to, I think, the hobbitlaunch.cfg.
 There is more information in the hobbitd_client man page at:

Hi Henrik

I have at last found the time to move to Hobbit clients. (Which means
there may be some documentation in the future)

However, I have encoutered a small problem, and although this may have
been addressed in earlier discussions, but I have not been reading the
list for a while.

Our BB client ran an msgs test, checking on /var/adm/messages
When we switch to Hobbit client, this status changes to white, not
purple as I would have expected.

What is the status of this test within Hobbit?

Regards
    Vernon
