Good idea!  I just need to see how hobbitlaunch normally passes ENVFILE
and LOGFILE to CMD (hobbit-client.sh) when it normally envokes CMD.  So
I can do that when I invoke hobbit-cient.sh manually via ssh.  Probably
just as simple env variables.  I'll check the source code for
hobbitlaunch, or just "guess-and-test".

BTW, the clients appear to NOT attempt to connect to Hobbit server, and
still behave gracefully, if you set BBDISP=0.0.0.0 and BBDISPLAYS="".
At least the logfile quits complaining about that "Whoops!" message.
And the msx.XXX.txt file is still generated normally.  Great!

One last thing is to figure out why there aren't the normal "Client data
available" links on the Hobbit webpages (not a show-stopper if they
aren't there).

Thanks

And I also need to investigate the possible problems of having the 
client script and the server script run asynchronously.  It may be 
possible to upload the same msg.XXX.txt file twice in a row if 
timings/delays fall just right.  I need to see how that would affect 
the RRD/graphing part of Hobbit.  It might confuse the heck out of it.
Why not ssh to the client, execute hobbit-client.sh and pick up the
resulting file ?
