Hi Iain,
I really don't want to install an smnp client on each windows machine, which may or may not affect the performance of a mission critical servers, to do the polling of data, when I can actually get the hobbit server to fire a script.
Also, what or how I am executing this script is not the question I am placing here. I'm just wondering how I can read parameters after the test name in bb-hosts (my planned version of blades:(blade port number):(ip address)) that is very similar to the setup of how Henrik has badtest:x:x:x
Cheers,

Thanks for the details guys, but I'm designing a script to monitor individual blades in the bladecenter, rather than the bladecenter chassis.
So if you want to monitor individual blades can you not install the
hobbit client on the OS that resides on the blades? There are unix and
windows clients for hobbit.......
Just an idea....

So I need to configure a script to specify the port the server is plugged into the blade chassis, and then I just realized, I need to specify the hostname/ip of the blade center it's wired to so I can do a proper snmp.
So something like blades:4:bladecenter1.host.com in the bb-hosts file?
Please note that our blade center holds 14 blades.
