Custom script shows purple

Not really, this is in addition to that test.

Hobbit has a built in LDAP test if I remember correctly.  Was it not serving your needs?

We have a custom client side script that we wrote to test ldap
connectivity  (See below)

% cat getent.sh

#!/bin/sh

  COLUMN=ldap-con      # Does the server have an LDAP conection
  COLOR=green          # By default, everything is OK
  MSG="LDAP Connectivity Check"

  TESTVAL=`/usr/bin/getent group admins | wc -l`

  # Do whatever you need to test for something
  # As an example, go red if /tmp/badstuff exists.
  if [ $TESTVAL -eq 0 ]
  then
     COLOR=red
     MSG="${MSG}

     LDAP Configureation and Connectivity is BORKED UP
     "
  else
     MSG="${MSG}

     LDAP Configureation and Connectivity is OK
     "
  fi

  # Tell Hobbit about it
  $BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date`

  ${MSG}
  "

  exit 0


And the following is our clientlocal.sh portion for this script:

# LDAP Check - This command makes sure that this box is connected to
the MGS LDAP Server
[ldap-con]
       ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
       CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/getent.sh
       LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/ldap.log
       INTERVAL 4h

As can be seen, we have it running every 4 hours.  The status check
should be green, however, it goes to purple.  Is there a way (and
where/how) to change the default timeout for this, as I think the 4
hour time is making it puke.

Both these scripts are on the client side.
