I know I can send a summary from one Hobbit server to another using by
putting something like:

   summary Vegas.All 10.0.1.1 http://vegas.foo.com/hobbit/

in the sender's bb-hosts file, and it shows up on the Main View on the
receiver.  What I need, however, is a matching red/green dot in the
"all non-green" view on the receiving Hobbit server.
Apply this patch - should work fine on 4.2.0 - and change the BBMKBB2EXT
setting in hobbitserver.cfg to

   BBMKBB2EXT="summaries eventlog.sh acklog.sh"
Would it be possible/practical/desirable to have the Remote Summary
report affect the background color of the main & non-green pages??  My
remote summary is generally red, and occasionally the main server goes
green, so I get a big green-bordered page with "All Monitored Systems
OK" and a little red dot underneath it...

Thanks!
