Remote Status Propagation

Hello, 
I have two hobbit servers setup, one reports its status to the other via
the summary command in bb-hosts. 
The receiving server displays the remote status display section, with a
normal hobbit red/green/etc icon. 
My problem is that the colour of the remote status doesnt affect the
colour of the page on the receiving server. I would like the left hand
bar (& favicon) to reflect the remote status as well as the local status, is that
possible? 
Thanks!

I hate to smack the docs in people's faces, but ... from the hobbitserver.cfg man-page:

       SUMMARY_SET_BKG
            If set to TRUE, then summaries will affect the color 	    of the main Xymon webpage. Default: FALSE.


Regards,

I have to admit I wasn't aware of this option and I have read through the
man pages (good while ago, though).

I do like the way you posted it, though!

Nah, smack my face.  I read various man pages and googled, checked the
archives, but didnt see that one..
