I also tried doing this command and got some odd errors:

[shire at frodo bin]$ /home/shire/server/bin/bbcmd 127.0.0.1 "disable
host.mydomain.com 15"
2007-10-04 20:42:07 Using default environment file
/home/shire/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
2007-10-04 20:42:07 execvp() failed: No such file or directory
bbcmd is used to set the environment for other hobbit commands, so it must be followed by a command. Here, it tries to find the '127.0.0.1' command or executable which, I'm guessing, you don't have ;)
[shire at frodo bin]$ /home/shire/server/bin/bbcmd bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "disable
Kancharla-nullbox.imaginenetx.com -1"
2007-10-04 20:45:13 Using default environment file
/home/shire/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
2007-10-04 20:45:13 execvp() failed: No such file or directory

Almost right: don't specify the bin/ directory.

I'm guessing your host is named Kancharla-nullbox.imaginenetx.com. The syntax for the disable option of bb is:

bb <hobbitserver> "disable HOST.TEST DURATION [text]"

you have to replace the dots in your hostname with commas, so the rigth command would become:

/home/shire/server/bin/bbcmd bb 127.0.0.1 "disable Kancharla-nullbox,imaginenetx,com.* -1"

This will disable all the tests related to the host until OK.

See also the manpage for the bb-command.

HTH,
