Is anyone in the hobbit world using BBWin in central mode to monitor the
status of a file on the Window side and reporting back to a UNIX hobbit
server? If so I could really use your help.

MYSETUP

CLIENT
Hostname:	mailrelay.math.purdue.edu
OS:	Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition Service Pack 2
(build 3790)
BBWin: BBWin V.12 

SERVER
Hostname:	zorn.math.purdue.edu
OS:	SunOS zorn.math.purdue.edu 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R


On the server I have the following two files

client-local.cfg

	[mailrelay.math.purdue.edu]
	file:c:\testbbwin


hobbit-clients.cfg

	HOST=mailrelay.math.purdue.edu
    		UP 30m
    		LOAD 40.0 70.0
    		DISK    * 90 95
    		FILE c:\testbbwin red MTIME<600

On the BBwin client my clientlocal.cfg file has 

	file:c:\testbbwin

file:c:\testbbwin does not seem to add any information in the
msg.mailrelay file.


QUESTIONS:

I do get any information in the msg.mailrelay file about the
file:c:\testbbwin. Is the code built in BBWin to capture the file:
information to add to the msg.mailrelay file or is this something that I
have to write?

Can you provide your files so I can see an example.

I really need to monitor a file on the Window side and this would be a great
help.

I also I am not a window type guy. We run as few window machines as possible
and only where necessary.


Thanks

Robert
