I just started doing some process monitoring in Hobbit.  It's working
fine on all platforms except HP/UX.  On HP/UX systems the status goes to
Warning immediately, and when you get the details it says:
 
yellow Expected string COMMAND not found in ps output header
 
UID        PID  PPID  C    STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root         0     0  0  Jul  5  ?           04:10 swapper
root         1     0  0  Jul  5  ?           35:35 init
 
I checked and sure enough, HP/UX seems to use "CMD" as the header for
the ps column that the other operating systems call "COMMAND", so it
isn't checking the processes right.
 
Is that string somewhere in hobbit that I can change, like a script, or
would it be compiled into the binary?

Try the following in the client/bin/hobbitclient-hp-ux.sh file

 
echo "[ps]"

UNIX95=1 ps -Ax -o pid,ppid,user,stime,state,pri,pcpu,time,vsz,args

 
It should return the expected string command instead of cmd.

What version of HP-UX are you running? I am running 11.11 and here it works.

I was seeing this on both hp/ux 11.00 and 11.23.  I fixed it by changing
the line in hobbitclient-hp-ux.sh to:
 
UNIX95=1 ps -ef -o uid,pid,ppid,cpu,stime,tty=TTY -o time,comm
 
I guess you could use ps -A instead of -ef but both work.  You can leave
out the =TTY and second "-o" if you don't care if the TTY column is not
named TTY.
