Check the MAXMSG_STATUS in hobbitserver.cfg, and take a look at your logs. You might be getting a message about oversized status messages. You can change the value in hobbitserver.cfg if needed.

Subject: [Xymon] bb: Argument list too large long
When trying to send a simple status message to hobbit (yes still at that level) , along the line of : /path_to_bb/bb my_hobbit_host "status+1d page.subpage green `date` `cat /somefile`"
"somefile" is rather large, some 428k and I can confirm it works fine if I make "somefile" much smaller.
Is there a way around this? The idea is to have this file as a page for reference. I personally think a better solution is to use access or excel (in mswords), but . . . boss wants it this way.
