Hi all !

I have compiled a seperate hobbit clients, and installed them on AIX servers. Now I would like the log files under /var/adm/hobbit instead of directly under the client. However the BBCLIENTLOGS entry in hobbitclient.cfg is ignored. hobbit owns the new log directory. Anybody else seen this ?

Has no one seen this problem before ?

Haven't been bothered by it myself, but a quick grep for LOG in
/home/hobbit/client/etc turns up a bunch of these:

        LOGFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/hobbitclient.log

in clientlaunch.cfg.  Maybe that's what's happening to your logs??

A quick look in clientlaunch.cfg reveales that the logs are stored in  
$HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/.

Right thanks, so the BBCLIENTLOGS in hobbitclient.cfg is not used.

Almost all settings in hobbitclient.cfg are there for backwards compatibility 
for BigBrother scripts.
