Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm currently dead in the water without this working as it should.  I tried emailing Henrik as well but I'm sure he is too busy to reply.

I have a host whose client was started via: "./runclient.sh --class=APP_PRIMARY start"

In the hobbit servers hobbit-clients.cfg, I have something similar to:

CLASS=APP_PRIMARY
   PROC "someproc"
   PROC "/some/other/proc"
....
DEFAULT
   PROC sshd

The problem is that only the default proc "sshd" is being checked on the host.  The expected behavior is that the CLASS would be used and other other procs checked instead. I know this has nothing to do with the DEFAULT setting, as using HOST=hostname works fine. I just cant get it to check the procs by CLASS.  Is there any way to debug this?  Shouldn't the CLASS show up in the "info" section?  Do I need to put the class name in quotes on the command line?
