The hobbit 'bb' program in the $BBHOME/server/bin directory behaves the
same as the BigBrother bb program. You should just need to change the
directories in your scripts to make them work.

Thanks,

I installed Hobbit on my (former) BB server.  The clients are
reporting in normally.  However, I have some tests for hosts (NetApp, Tandem - that have no BB client) that run on the BB server and use the bb executable to "trick" the server into thinking it received it from an external client.  For example:

exec("/opt/bb/bin/bb", $IP, "status $machine.$test $color $now\n  $status\n  @array\n  ")   or die( "$1: Couldn't execute BB");


Is there an equivalent function on the Hobbit server that can
accomplish this without having both BB and Hobbit installed?
