When you tried to find the process, did you use the arguments ef for ps?
Try running ps -ef|grep hobbitlaunch  If that process is not running, your
bbd is obviously not running and therefor not performing any tests.

I've confirmed this works on my server - CentOS5 (a RHEL distro).

well what i described is just how we try to ensure that it is running,
more client side than anything else, but starting and stopping it very
specific to the OS.

we use red hat and typically 'service hobbitclient start' would start
the client for us, this gets done at startup by red hat's init scripts
etc.

you may find more luck trying the mailing lists/documentation of the OS
you use, to figure out how services and started/stopped etc

Hi Patel,
The hobbitlaunch wasnt seen in the running processes..how can i enable
it??
Thanks
we use ps and grep in a script to ensure that the hobbitlaunch process
is running, and run that script in cron periodically, mailing if
hobbitlaunch isn't found..
