I believe the solution is, in your external script, when you send the status message, append a lifetime (in seconds) to the status, for example "status+21600", would make hobbit not mark that test purple unless 6 hours have passed with no report.  Another example:
$lifetime=21600;
output=status+$lifetime $host.$test $color $timestamp\n$message";

Hope this made sense :)

Hi, 
I'm running hobbit snapshot from the 26th of august.

I'd like to run an external script on my hobbit server, but only once or
twice a day. 
So the hobbitlaunch.cfg should contain this : [my-script]
	NEEDS hobbitd
	CMD ~hobbit/server/ext/my-script
	INTERVAL 4h

I started to configure an interval of 60 minutes, but the status becomes
purple after 20 minutes. 
Is there a way I can tell hobbit to run the script with such interval
without a purple state after 20 minutes ? 
Thanks
