I don't think you'll ever get satisfactory results trying to run
hobbitclient.sh as such.  It's launched from runclient.sh, which sets
HOBBITCLIENTHOME to the directory path of runclient.sh itself (`dirname
$0`), and that's used in hobbitclient.sh as the path prefix for
/bin/clientupdate, etc.  Without the variable set, hobbitclient.sh is
trying to launch them with a path of /bin, and they are not in /bin.  So
what you're seeing when you do that is normal and not indicative of what's
broke.

/etc/init.d/hobbit restart
should work, it calls runclient.sh after setting some other stuff.

Try this otherwise:

cd /usr/lib/hobbit/client/ && ./bin/hobbitclient.sh

 Hey,


I have noticed that on my monitor that a lot of the tests are turning
purple.

I read in this thread (
http://www.hobbitmon.com/hobbiton/2007/08/msg00051.html) that I should
check the status of my hobbitclient.sh.


I ran the status and it returned.


/runclient.sh status

Hobbit client (clientlaunch) does not appear to be running


So I thought that would be my problem, I navigated to my hobbitclient.sh
and tried to run it. This is the error I am getting.


root at Hobbits:/usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin# ./hobbitclient.sh

./hobbitclient.sh: 45: /bin/clientupdate: not found

./hobbitclient.sh: 52: /bin/hobbitclient-linux.sh: not found

./hobbitclient.sh: 63: /bin/logfetch: not found

./hobbitclient.sh: 79: @: not found

root at Hobbits:/usr/lib/hobbit/client/bin#


This is a list of files in my /client/bin/ directory


bb        bbhostgrep    hobbitclient-aix.sh      hobbitclient-hp-ux.sh
hobbitclient-netbsd.sh   hobbitclient-sco_sv.sh  hobbitlaunch
orcahobbit

bbcmd     bbhostshow    hobbitclient-darwin.sh   hobbitclient-irix.sh
hobbitclient-openbsd.sh  hobbitclient.sh         logfetch

bbdigest  clientupdate  hobbitclient-freebsd.sh  hobbitclient-linux.sh
hobbitclient-osf1.sh     hobbitclient-sunos.sh   msgcache


So from that I can see that the files are infact there, but it can't see
them.


Any help on where I went wrong would be appreciated.
