Hobbit Protocol
list Neil Franken
Hi All I am interested in developing some specialized services for Hobbit (i.e monitoring M$ SQL servers). Where can I get some documentation on how to communicate with the hobbit server directly? Or in other words how do I get the hobbit protocol specification? Obviously if I am successful I would make this available to all. Regards Neil

Thanks. Is there any documents about how the protocol works? I have done quiet a bit of low level TCP programming when I was working for the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and I would really like to get into the nitty gritty of the hobbit protocol. Regards Neil

The protocol is defined in bb man page. If you're writing socket level code, you don't have to execute the bb program, just open a socket to the server on port 1984 and issue a status message.

http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/ Scroll down to miscellaneous programs, Hobbit Communications Program (bb). NB: At the socket level, Hobbit doesn't send any responses back, so just pump data to it and don't expect anything back. That sort of threw me at first, but you get used to it (quick).
