Hi guys,
Have recently upgraded to 4.0.2 and discovered we are having some
issues
ack'ing alerts this morning.
[snip]
You've got the idea ;-) First save the patch file to /tmp, then...
cd hobbit-4.0.2
patch -p0 </tmp/maintenance-feature.patch
Whoops! try...

patch -p0 </tmp/hobbit-4.0.2-acknowledge.patch

:-) Serves me right for copying Henrik's instructions!
make
stop Hobbit
make install (as root)
start Hobbit
I'm not sure what system you are running hobbit on, but if you get any
errors with patch try gpatch instead (I have to do this on my Solaris 9
x86
box).
HTH,
Andy.

Running all the way back on Redhat Linux 7.2 on a beasty Pentium Pro 200

I tried the patch command and it sat there for an age and did nothing.

Should I drop the file into the hobbit install dir/hobbitd and run it from
there seeing as that the hobbitd.c file is in that dir ? Or will the patch
command search the entire hdd for hobbitd.c ? Im a bit of a newb and can say
ive never used patch before.

The again I might just edit the line in the hobbitd.c by hand, will that
work ?

Allan
