Maik,

We are using the Darwin client on G5/Intel OSX 10.[3,4,5].x servers.
We had to add a couple of lines at the end of the hobbitclient-darwin.sh script to be able to report the log status using logfetch.

$ diff hobbitclient-darwin.sh hobbitclient-darwin.sh.dist
56,60d55
< if test -f $LOGFETCHCFG
< then
<     $BBHOME/bin/logfetch $LOGFETCHCFG $LOGFETCHSTATUS
< fi
<


After a while, you should have two files in ~hobbit/client/tmp:

logfetch.<client-name>.cfg
logfetch.<client-name>.status


You can then check the file ~hobbit/client/tmp/msg.<client-name>.txt for the presence of lines like:

[logfile:/var/log/system.log]
type:100000 (file)
mode:640 (-rw-r-----)
linkcount:1
owner:0 (root)
group:80 (admin)
size:30
clock:1207119855 (2008/04/02-09:04:15)
atime:1207119855 (2008/04/02-09:04:15)
ctime:1207119855 (2008/04/02-09:04:15)
mtime:1207119855 (2008/04/02-09:04:15)

Some month ago, I have installed a hobbit client on a OSX 10.4.7 (Intel) machine.
It was working fine, but since a view days, I don't get any monitoring logs of this machine.

The hobbitlaunch is running, at the Clientlaunch.log it is also written

2008-04-02 11:29:27 hobbitlaunch starting
2008-04-02 11:29:27 Loading tasklist configuration from /Users/hobbit/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg

If I check the running processes for the hobbitlaunch process, it is listet with an PID.
The hobbitclient.log is always empty. Also at the system.log, secure.log and mail.log isn't written something about the hobbit client.

Any ideas why the monitoring is not working? Any suggestions on how I can
track down the problem?

Maik
