Hi fellows,

I've a question about the bb option hobbitdboard.
I am just converting a few scripts I've written for BB and I want of
course incorporate the functionality that Hobbit has instead of digging
through the log files. What I'm trying to do is to get a list on which
servers a certain test is running. I do this by firing : ./bb 127.0.0.1
"hobbitdboard test=TEST"|awk -F\| '{print $1}' and get a list of all
machines running TEST. But not only thes machines but also the ones that
are running test or myTEST or TestNEW which I don't want to be displayed.
So it seems that Hobbit is doing its search case insensitive.
Is there a switch for this and for search only tests that match the whole
word instead of a substring?
./bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard test=^myTEST$ |awk -F\| '{print $1}'
Also, you don't need to use awk to filter on certain fields, you can just use 
the hobbitdboard fields= option.

./bb 127.0.0.1 "hobbitdboard test=^myTEST$ fields=hostname,testname"
