Is it possible to test a TCP port on a remote machine with the Hobbit server?  I have some applications that can't be tested with anything standard (HTTP, SMTP, etc).  I'm just looking for a basic acknowledgement that the TCP port is listening on the host being monitored.

Thanks,

You could do it at least two ways:
1. Have hobbit client on the remote machine check for the listening port in netstat
2. Define the port in bb-services.cfg and add the tag for the new service to your bb-hosts.
