Something on the network blew up, router or switch. Of course hobbit went
purple. It was a Thursday afternoon and it was in the Network Gods hands at
this point. They fixed it that night I had still had the purple condition
in the morning. I checked both the server and clients (~100) and everything
was running. I restarted both anyway and waited. Went home for the
weekend. Came in Monday and still had the purple plague.
I assume your Hobbit webpages are being updated ? (Check the timestamp
in the upper-right corner).
Is hobbitd_client running on the server ?
On one of the clients, login as the user running the HObbit client
and run the "bbcmd" tool. You'll get a new shell prompt. Do an
echo $BB
echo $BBDISP
and check that these point to the "bb" utility on the client, and the
IP-address of your Hobbit server.
Then run
$BB $BBDISP "ping"
You should get a response back from the Hobbit server.o
Next, run
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.purpletest green Checking status"
This sends a "purpletest" status-message to the Hobbit server. If
everything works OK, then you should get a "purpletest" status
column (in color green) for this client host) the next time the
Hobbit webpages are updated.
Let us know what you find out.
