Cool!  Thanks for the tip.

I was a bit naive in thinking hobbitlaunch might just pass ENVFILE and
LOGFILE to CMD as env variables.  I had just reviewed hobbitlaunch.c and
environ.c and found that hobbitlaunch redirects stdout/stderr to LOGFILE
before calling CMD.  And also the ENVFILE processing is a little more
complex due to the AREA stuff (which implies hobbitclient.cfg is not a
sourceable env file, as it almost appears to be in it's default state).

I'll look at bbcmd.  I was going to hack my own way through this, but if
there's already an existing path, I'm all for the easy way!

Thanks

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".
You can use bbcmd.  So "bbcmd hobbitclient.sh".  bbcmd will set the
needed environment variabels.  You probably have to specify the full
path to hobbitclient.sh.
