big brother replacement

Well, bb being somewhat modular, there are 3 components: BBNET, BBPAGER,
BBDISPLAY

BBNET is the component of bb that tests the network
services/connectivity on the remote hosts.

I see now - you've a redundant BBNET.  I haven't used BB in several
weeks and I never got really complex with it - a lot of ping tests was
what I needed out of it.  Can you explain what BBNET is?

I see what you're saying, but you still have to manually specify
which server you're connecting to.  If the bb1.domain.tld can not be
reached the techs have to manually enter bb2.domain.tld - correct?

    Well, no need to enter anything manually. We have on each big brother
    server a page with links to all the other bb servers, and I'm sure the
    support folks have links bookmarked, so if the DC1 data center is
    down, then instead of clicking on e.g. dc1bbdata, they'd click on
    dc2bbdata. Normally the 2 bb display servers in each pair provide an
    identical view, so this only matters in the event of an outage.

I know of several BB ext scripts that work perfectly with Hobbit and
even more then just needed a small weak.  Would you be able to post
the entire ext script?  Hopefully Henrik is willing to answer your
$64 question =)

    Sure, I can post the entire script - it's in the attachment -
