The Ghost Client list is blank and blue (Disabled?).
Checked eight clients out of the ~100 and all of them are able to telnet to
the server on port 1984 without issue.
Shutdown the client on a client only machine. Copy /dev/null to
hobbitclient.log and clientlaunch.log . Started 'runclient.sh start' --
hobbitclient.log is empty. clientlaunch.log has two lines that show it has
started.
No change.
I shut down the client (on the server) and hobbit server itself. Checked /
cleared the logs. Restarted both the server, and after a couple minutes
restarted client on the server as well.
No change. Still not showing at of the pertinent info.
On the server checked client-local.cfg and bb-hosts in hobbit's /etc
directory and they are fine and the last day of access was weeks before this
issue popped up.
Any other ideas?

P.S. All the file systems have ample available space.

Subject: Re: [hobbit] Purple Problems
What you did with your script is deleting all checks that are purple.
A purple check is a check that has not been updated for a while. So
removing
a purple check can be done in 2 ways: like you did by deleting the check or
by sending a new status. In your case, you need to check why the status is
not been send to the hobbit server. Check the client logs, you can also try
a telnet on the hobbit port (default 1984) from the client to the hobbit
server to see if there is a network problem. Also, check the ghost client
list (can be found on the hobbit server in the menu).
Happy new year and wishes you all a good monitoring time,
Stef
