Has anyone experienced issues with hobbit not starting and stopping
correctly after the hobbitlaunch.log reaches 2 gigs? Once my log reaches
2 gigs it sends out false pages and shows purple events. If I delete the
hobbitlaunch.log everything starts working. Is there a logswitch
utility? 
It could be a problem .... hobbitlaunch just appends to the file. I
honestly haven't tested that scenario, and I guess it would be very OS
- even OS-version - dependant.

Use whatever tool you normally use for log rotation. Rotate the logs,
then run "~hobbit/hobbit.sh rotate" to have Hobbit re-open the
logfiles.
