I think the bbcmd cannot find the bin/bb .

 
Try specifiying the full path to the executable

Subject: [hobbit] Using enable/disable administration

 
First off I have never used this feature, so I am not certain what to
look for.

My first idea was that if I disabled the hosts they would not show up on
the bb2.html page, possibly hide on the bb.html page too.

I disabled three hosts and disabled all tests performed on them.  I
waited a good 5m (certain it went through the 1m page rebuild time) and
it doesn't appear to look any different - now my assumption is that it
will only prevent notifications, is this true? 

I also tried doing this command and got some odd errors:

[shire at frodo bin]$ /home/shire/server/bin/bbcmd 127.0.0.1 "disable
host.mydomain.com 15"
2007-10-04 20:42:07 Using default environment file
/home/shire/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
2007-10-04 20:42:07 execvp() failed: No such file or directory

[shire at frodo bin]$ /home/shire/server/bin/bbcmd bin/bb 127.0.0.1
"disable Kancharla-nullbox.imaginenetx.com -1"
2007-10-04 20:45:13 Using default environment file
/home/shire/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg 
2007-10-04 20:45:13 execvp() failed: No such file or directory

Which of the two is correct, and what is the purpose of the bin/bb that
was mentioned in a previous support issue.

Thanks in advance!
Josh
