bb-hosts question

I looked through all the files you  indicated. They are as you suggested.

I noticed in my log file I have the following:

2005-12-28 09:56:20 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984
2005-12-28 09:56:20 Setting up signal handlers
2005-12-28 09:56:20 Setting up hobbitd channels
2005-12-28 09:56:20 Setting up logfiles
2005-12-28 09:56:26 Task bbnet terminated by signal 4

Do you know what would cause this. I could not find this in the archives.

Thanks

Robert

On the hobbit server (128.210.3.176) my bb-hosts file looks as follows:

128.210.3.176   zada.math.purdue.edu      #  ntp
http://www.math.purdue.edu/
128.210.3.177   zorn.math.purdue.edu      #

The web page looks like

bbgen   cpu   disk   hobbitd  info   memory   msgs  procs  trends
  G      G      R       G      G        G       W     G      G

I assume zada the hobbit client runs independent of zada the hobbit
server.

That's correct, though they have a tie in that the hobbit client is
stopped/started when you stop/start the hobbit server.

Both hosts are sparc solaris machines.


Why do I not have the ntp and http column for the zada client?

Did you restart the server after you made this change? Is the file you
changed the one in ~/hobbit/server/etc/bb-hosts on the server?

Why do I not have the conn for any host?

Check this settings in your ~/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg:

CMD bbtest-net --report --ping --checkresponse --dns-timeout=10

And these in your hobbitserver.cfg:

PINGCOLUMN="conn"
CONNTEST="TRUE"
FPING="/usr/bin/fping"

What file am I missing to make this all come together?
