That's odd. If hobbitlaunch isn't running, then bbgen will never be executed
and your web pages shouldn't update.
I got the impression he was killing the client side, not the server,
since he mentions:

   "hobbit server would need to interogate the client periodically beyond ping"

in which case the server would definitely notice that the client
hadn't reported in over 30 mins.

I see what you're saying about hobbitlaunch on the server, though.  If
*that's* down, all bets are off.
