Hello all,

I have a question about external scripts. I just moved over to Hobbit from BB and need to run my scripts. I have been using the "snmp" for my netapps and "bb-xsnmp" for my switches. I added an entry to the "hobbitlaunch.cfg"

[bbxsnmp]
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/bb-xsnmp.pl
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/bb-xsnmp.log
        INTERVAL 1m

but it doesnt work. Does anyone have any advice on using these BB scripts?

Thanks,

Dave

Does the hobbitlaunch.log tell you anything?

This is how I launch my stuff:
[hobbitcentral]
        ENVFILE /users/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD $BBHOME/../hobcen/hobcen.sh
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/hobcen.log
        INTERVAL 1m

Good luck.
Tim

Dave,
  Is the log file being created for the script?  It would also help to
know what the script is doing and what type of log information it is
spitting out.  I have a simple example working with the following
script:

test.pl:
#!/usr/bin/perl

print "TEST\n";

and this entry in hobbitlaunch.cfg:

# TEST Case

[exttest]
        ENVFILE /opt/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/test.pl
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/ext_test.log
        INTERVAL 1m

First thing to do is check that logfile you have in
/var/log/hobbit/bb-xsnmp.log and see if it shows any errors.

The most common reason for BB extensions failing with Hobbit is that
some environment variables defined by the BB configuration files are
not setup by Hobbit. Especially if you have added your own custom
settings in bbsys.local.

Henrik

I looked at the log file and its empty. When hobbit starts it creates the log file but nothing is ever writen to it. Any ideas what enviornment varables need to be set? I didnt add anything to the bbsys.local on the BB install. I am running other external scripts that work fine.

Thanks,

Dave
