Hi Henrik,

The content of this mail should IMHO be copy/pasted and added to the
hobbit documentation!

Just a random thought: wouldn't it be possible to have a pure shell or
perl script hobbit client running from a cron job?
I think there is a perl script that can be used to replace the bb command.
Most systems have a perl binary.  You can even netcat to replace the bb command, you just need to be able to send some data over the network.

No, sh and telnet are widely available binaries. Perl relies on far too many libs to be usable. And a lot of the old architectures don't have netcat or a usable compiler/libs.
