It was neither the IPC resources. The output of IPCS looks similar
before and after a restart/recovery. So, if it wasn't
disk/memory/cpu/ipcs, then what? I can't build an enterprise class
monitoring system that just shuts down without any known cause.

What kind of filesystem access does Hobbit need? I have a bad habit of
restricting access... Oh yes, I had chosen "paranoid" filesys security
just because it was possible.

Hi

I am doing a migration from BigBrother to Hobbit. I have installed 
Hobbit on a new dedicated Linux server and configured the bb-hosts and
started Hobbit. First everything seemed to work. I had nice results 
from ping, http and dns tests. After that I did not even touch the 
Hobbit system. Then it all suddenly stopped. All my network tests are
purple.
Bb-network.log is zero bytes. The ONLY error message that I can find 
is
"df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: Permission denied" and
that is not a problem. There's also "hobbitd status-board not
available"
in the Hobbit server log. I guess something must be wrong with 
bbtest-net. Any ideas?

Well, this can happen when the hobbit server runs out of disk space ...
