I don't see any reason to think that script wouldn't work with some
variable changes like BBNET=`$GREP BBNET $BBHOSTS | $GREP "^[0-9]" |
$GREP -v "^\#"` but I am not an expert by any means!
Well, depending on what I hear on this list in the next day or so,
taking a crack at adapting the old bb failover script may be my best
option.
Getting back to the version 3.3 - after 1.9btf Quest starting selling
the product. I don't know the exact history behind it but 1.9btf is
what you get without paying for anything. I have worked with and
continue to monitor a network with 3.1 or 3.2 (they decided to revert
from 3.3 as it looks quite a bit different on the BBDISPLAY) and I
honestly don't see what they've changed between 1.9 and 3.2. Most of
the features of BB I heard of or read were not only already in Hobbit
but were even better then what I had heard. Not to mention the dozens
of BB scripts that can be relatively painless to migrate.
Ah, interesting - I always had the feeling that quest didn't do much of
anything with the code except put in some verbiage and legal warnings,
and tried to push their own proprietary and non linux-friendly stuff and
left the bb code base to slowly decay.
