You need to make configuration in /hobbit/server/etc/hobbit-client.cfg and /hobbit/server/etc/client-local.cfg You can see how it is done in the demo site: http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/viewconf.sh?clientlocal http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/viewconf.sh?client 2009/1/28 Jose Mª Erquiaga <user-69aeb1ef0954@xymon.invalid>

I have Hobbit running on a IBM P6 lpar, with AIX 5.3 installed. It seems about every 3-4 minutes a 'defunct' process is started by hobbit. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Hobbit, and rebooting the server. The defunct processes are still being generated. Does anyone have any idea on what is causing this? Thanks for your help. Here's a sample of the ps output: 50307 Z hobbit 331868 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 344096 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 348368 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 372982 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 376944 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 385200 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 389226 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 393276 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> Ginny Jaworski

If my memory serves me correctly, which is highly doubtful, I had a similar problem with defunct processes on an earlier version of AIX that was corrected by an AIX patch. The issue wasn't due to Hobbit, but the symptoms were the same. Perhaps you should check to see if you have all the latest AIX patches installed. Just a wild guess! Jim Smith Little Rock

I think that might be an artifact from AIX. Hobbit launches processes every 5 minutes that end. AIX keeps them around in the process list as "defunct" instead of just getting rid of them. GLH

That is what I thought was happening, however, I have Hobbit running on a few other AIX servers. This just started happening on this server in the last few days. Before that, things seemed okay. The other AIX servers don't seem to keep the defunct processes around. Any idea why it does it on some servers and not others? I rebooted the server yesterday afternoon to clear them up. I have 215 defunct processes this morning. Are there any configurations in Hobbit that I can stop it from reporting the defunct procs on the Hobbit Server?

i need to configure some more ?
in my older clients it works .
but in all my hobbit 4.2 clients doesn´t work.
on this 4.2 clients i´m running some ext scripts and it works
correctly , so there´s nothing to do with ghosts clients.
by the other hand ports proc msg and files era clear.
they show information but says No files checked or no proc checked etc...
i cant find nothing more.
help please!

Subject: [hobbit] Hobbit Generating Defunct Processes
I have Hobbit running on a IBM P6 lpar, with AIX 5.3 installed. It seems about every 3-4 minutes a 'defunct' process is started by hobbit. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Hobbit, and rebooting the server. The defunct processes are still being generated. Does anyone have any idea on what is causing this? Thanks for your help. Here's a sample of the ps output:
50307 Z hobbit 331868 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 344096 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 348368 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 372982 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 376944 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 385200 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 389226 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct> 50307 Z hobbit 393276 0 0 38 rt 0:00 <defunct>

Hmmm. All my Sun machines are SPARCs and the PROC checking works. You do realize that you must compile a client package for each of those architectures? You cannot compile one Sun package and then use it on both i386 and SPARC architectures... Also, what are all those "unknown token" messages about? GLH

Is this a standard client? Is it running any external tests? It was compiled on AIX 5.1 I think! I have a client compiled on AIX 5.3-06-04 which you could try and see if problem is still there.

I solved my problem by calling IBM and they had me download and install the latest fixpack for AIX 5.3 T/L 7... this brought me up to Service Pack 7 (5300-07-07-0846). I rebooted the server after applying the updates and the defunct processes are no longer generated. Hope this helps.

Hmmm. All my Sun machines are SPARCs and the PROC checking works. You do realize that you must compile a client package for each of those architectures? You cannot compile one Sun package and then use it on both i386 and SPARC architectures... Also, what are all those "unknown token" messages about?
