That may help, but remember, if a host is only tested every 5 minutes, and you update your page every minute, your bb2 page is at most 60 seconds out of date, but usually much closer.
If you must, for some reason, update manually, you COULD run it manually via the bbcmd, if I'm thinking this through correctly. It would be something like:
/path/to/hobbit/bin/bbcmd /path/to/hobbit/bin/bbgen
Where /path/to/hobbit/ is the path just below your etc directory where you have your bb-hosts and hobbitlaunch.cfg

My bbdisplay is already configured to have 1 minute update interval, it is on bb2.html is still updated every 5 minutes.
# "bbdisplay" runs the bbgen tool to generate the Hobbit webpages from the status information that
# has been received. Big Brother updated the webpages once every 5 minutes. The default here is to
# run it every minute for faster updates, but you can change it if you have a highly loaded server
# and dont need updates that often.
[bbdisplay]
ENVFILE /etc/hobbitserver42/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
GROUP generators
CMD bbgen $BBGENOPTS --report
LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-display.log
INTERVAL 1m
I do remember there is a option somewhere is hobbit man page that can set "dynamic, on demand " update.

If desired I know you can change it. One of the configs in server/etc - if you can't find it let me know, I can look later tonight.

Looks like bb2.html is updated every 5 minutes, what is the command to generate bb2.html by command line ?
