hobbit at randomaccess ~/server/etc $ ../bin/bbcmd --env=/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg bbtest-net --ping --debug

It seems to have worked, pingwise:

but still doesn't test anything else... no checks for ssh, ldaps, dns... nothing it was checking (and showing as green) two days ago seems to be getting tested now.  It completes the conn test, reports the results, and that's that.

I've checked the permissions on hobbitserver.cfg and they're correct.  There's no reason the hobbit user shouldn't be able to read it.
I then ran bbcmd again without specifying the env, and got identical results.

I don't understand why ssh et. al. is yielding nothing at all..?  If it failed to connect in some way it'd be red, wouldn't it?  They remain purple... for some reason the tests aren't being done at all.  I haven't altered the services definitions in any way.

Okay, it can't find fping.  But...
---
hobbit at randomaccess ~/server/bin $ more ../etc/hobbitserver.cfg |grep fping
# Make sure the path includes the directories where you have fping, mail and (optionally) ntpdate installed,
FPING="/usr/sbin/fping"                                 # Path and options for the 'fping' program.
   
This is pretty odd, because with that FPING setting you should also
see /usr/sbin/fping in the logfile entry - it should read
2005-11-01 14:14:20 Execution of '/usr/sbin/fping -Ae' failed with error-code 99

Could you check your hobbitlaunch.cfg file ? [bbnet] section should be

[bbnet]
	ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
	NEEDS hobbitd
	CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse
	LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-network.log
	INTERVAL 5m

I suspect that maybe the ENVFILE setting is missing or points to the
wrong file ...

 
[bbnet]
      ENVFILE /home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
   
Hrm, so you did that.


What happens if you run

  bbcmd --env=/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg bbtest-net --ping 
?
