Question/feature request

Hi Henrik,


I just redid the test with --checkresponse in stead of --check-response:

	$BBHOME/bin/bbtest-net `cat $REDOFILE` --checkresponse

That one seems to produce the desired effect: tests are stable at yellow
when I change the FTP expect setting.

I thought it might not be working properly because of the quotes in in
the "frequenttests." file. Then I removed the --checkresponse and put an
'eval' in front of that line in stead:

	eval $BBHOME/bin/bbtest-net `cat $REDOFILE`

it all works properly again (at least on my SuSE SLES9 installation). If
not a fix, at least it is a workaround...


Regards,

Eric.

I don't know if you read my previous response (see below), because it
got sent using the wrong mail account. But I think I've found another
issue: does the network retest procedure after a failed test ignore the
"expect" setting in bb-services?

I tried to do some testing by deliberatly misconfiguring the expect
setting for the FTP test (I set it to 221 in stead of 220), and now I
have got a cyclical behaviour on the Hobbit server: it will turn all
(five) FTP service tests yellow on the next test, but within a minute
they all turn green again. Again five minutes later they turn yellow
again, back green within a minute, etc. etc. This continues to happen
until I put the expect 220 back in bb-services...

I don't think this is the correct behaviour?

Doesn't sound right, I'll have to agree.

The retest procedure should use the same parameters as the normal tests,
but your experiment shows that it might not. Just to verify this, could
you try modifying the ~hobbit/server/ext/bbretest-net.sh script and add
"--check-response" to the bbtest-net command in there  (after the "cat
$REDOFILE") ?
