I'm trying to setup a redundant set of servers to be the BBDISPLAYS and a
redundant set of servers to be the BBNET pollers.  I've managed to setup
everything and get it working the way I like except one problem I am having.
I've created several scripts to check various items and send status messages
to the BBDISPLAY using the $BB cmd.  
BB="$BBHOME/bin/bb"
BBHOME="/usr/local/hobbit/server"
BBDISP="0.0.0.0"
BBDISPLAYS="172.16.1.50 172.16.2.50"

The cmd I'm running looks like this.
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR $DATE\t$MSG\n\n"`
One way I got it to work is

for i in $BBDISPLAYS

    do $BB $i "status $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR $DATE\t$MSG\n\n"`

done

Cheers

The result appears that the /bin/bb command will fire off a status but only
to the first BBDISPLAY in the list.  Is there some other way to make it fire
off status to both servers?

Pinky, Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?
Well, I think so Brain but if Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why does
he keep doing it?
