Can anybody tell me how to get a test to avoid purples if it is only
run once a day?  Thanks
As Hobbit doesn't have it's own client (yet!), I'll assume it understands
all of the standard bb client options.

If you read the help pages on the bb4.org site
Or do a "man bb".

Except I hadn't gotten around to describing the full syntax of the
status command. It's in there now.
When you call the bb client executable from your script, change "status" to
"status+1440" in the message header for the lifetime to be 24 hours.
Hobbit also accepts "status+25h"
