Hi Buchan,
I didn't see it until you mentioned it. Email got blocked by our spam filter for some silly reason. ;) It looks like bbhostgrep does not like : entries in the 4.2.0 release. I think I might need to use bbhostshow and parse it manually, as buggy that might be :\ unless I am missing something.

Hi Iain,
I really don't want to install an smnp client on each windows machine,
which may or may not affect the performance of a mission critical servers,
to do the polling of data, when I can actually get the hobbit server to
fire a script.
Also, what or how I am executing this script is not the question I am
placing here. I'm just wondering how I can read parameters after the test
name in bb-hosts (my planned version of blades:(blade port number):(ip
address)) that is very similar to the setup of how Henrik has badtest:x:x:x
Did you even look at the example script I sent? Did you reply saying what it
didn't do that you need?
Or, are you looking for someone to teach you how to read and write scripts (in
which case I think you're looking in the wrong place).
