My understanding is that the ! means reverse the test. If serverA needs
FTP running then it is tested as ftp, but if serverB must not have FTP
running then use !ftp as the test. We use this reversed test for FTP and
TELNET on some of our servers.

Subject: Re: [hobbit] to add custom script in hobbit & also drop undesirable column
Actually he's looking at the "SSH","ports","procs" columns. SSH is not a default column, so remove that from the end of the host's line in bb-hosts and use the drop command to be rid of that. As far as ports and procs I believe he wants to disregard them from the WWW pages. By default the client will submit info but there is no default "check this port/proc" for it to be green/red. If I recall correctly, you can put a ! in front of it to disable, though I'm not about that - can anyone confirm?
