Problem solved ... You don't want to know ... yes you do, I would.

When I installed I entered the wrong IP address for the server.  I was 
not thorough when correcting my mistake and only changed the IP in the 
bb-host file, I forgot all bout the hobbitserver.cfg file.

Sorry wild goose chase.

Here is trhe data.

OK, this is a complete webpage, it just doesn't have any hosts 
on it. Which is consistent with what you'd get when bbgen cannot
query the Hobbit server for the current status.

$ ./bbcmd bbgen

OK, try running it with the "--debug" option added. It dumps
a lot of output, but you should find something like this:

The "recipient" setting is taken from the BBDISP setting in
hobbitserver.cfg - this must be the correct IP of your Hobbit server.

Is there any indication that the "hobbitd" process has crashed? It
will restart automatically, but do check for core-files in
~hobbit/data/tmp/, or the process creation timestamp of the "hobbitd"
proces. And the hobbitlaunch.log file will also tell if it has restarted
hobbit.


Regards,
Henrik
