Hi,

Someday, I made a mistake and sent  a status column whose name is
"tomcat_*". I then dropped the status with "bb drop". But each time I
restart the hobbit server, the status pops up in purple state, again and
again... I tried to manually delete most files that refer to this
(history, rrd), either with the daemon running or not, but without any
luck.

Where does the hobbitd keeps its status when shutting down ?

In the ~hobbit/server/tmp/hobbitd.chk file, but you cannot edit it while
Hobbit is running. So shutdown hobbit, remove the offending line (each
status is a separate line, and one line only) and restart Hobbit.

I'll look into why you cannot delete it.


Regards,
Henrik

Ahem,

you can stop looking, the bug is in my oh-so-smart script. Sorry about
that one.
