When I reply to an alert, I get a message stating that bb-mailack.sh
can not find bbdef.sh. Is there an equivelent file for hobbit? This is
a clean install of hobbit 4.0RC2 no bb.

I would recommend to put this at the beginning of your script

[ -f /export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg ] || exit 99
. /export/home/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg

And get rid of this

if [ -d "$BBHOME" ]
then
        . $BBHOME/etc/bbdef.sh

And the corresponding "else" and "fi"

Thanks

Does hobbit support acks through email? Thanks

I am using it. You should be able to use the same shell script that was
in Bigbrother.

The only thing different is the following line in shell script

Bigbrother: $BB $BBPAGE "ack ack_event ${ACKCODE} ${DELAY} ${MESSAGE}"

Hobbit: $BB $BBPAGE "hobbitdack ${ACKCODE} ${DELAY} ${MESSAGE}"

Actually, it should work even without this change. The "ack ack_event"
command is recognized by hobbitd. I didn't see any reason why I should
break existing scripts, when it was so simple to just make it work.

Regards,
Henrik
