bbcmd on clients does not set MACHINE and MACHINEDOTS
list Dominique Frise
Hi, We noticed a problem when using bbcmd on clients for testing extension scripts: the variables exported in runclient.sh are not set. At least MACHINE and MACHINEDOTS should be set for beeing able to test any client-side extension script (Big Brother style or Hobbit style). Dominique UNIL - University of Lausanne

Hi Henrik
I totally agree with Dominique : I'm currently "upgrading" Big Brother clients to Hobbit 4.1.2p1 clients, and some of my external scripts are run from other scripts (post-backup ones, for example).
Would it be possible to modify bbcmd to export MACHINE, MACHINEDOTS, BBOSTYPE and HOBBITCLIENTHOME, so we can run external scripts outside of Hobbit ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi Frédéric, I'd prefer not to as we have to set some of these variables to different values because of several virtual aliases using one hobbit installation. Why don't you put a line in those scripts which reads those variables? regards Rolf

Done now. HOBBITCLIENTHOME is decided based on the location of the environment file that is loaded, which should give the right result in any normal setup. Regards, Henrik
