External scripts - template or how-to ? 🔗 link

It's me again :)
 Just installed my first hobbit server - and now I can't wait to stuff more
and more tests into the box.
 Hobbit does come with a lot of predefined tests, but I've come to the point
where I'd like to create my own external test.
 Is there a skeleton or template for ext scripts somewhere ? Or perhaps a
nice HOW-TO ?
 Poking around on the web gives me some ideas ( how to launch, use
bbhostgrep, ect. ) - but I'm sure some of you guys have allready done this.
 For instance, how do you determine if tests should be done on the
ip-addresse or the host name ?
 Thanks for your time ...

I hate to tell people to Read The Fine Manual, but it's there:

Also included in your own Hobbit server setup, under the "Help->Tips..."
menu item.

 Yes - but these fine examples do not take the "testip" tag into account.
 So, basically I need to test for the presence of "testip" to determine if
the test should be run with $1 or $2 ?
 Or am I totally missing the point here ?
 Since I'm new to Hobbit, I don't know what else I'm missing :)
 Perhaps there is a more complete example out there ?
 Thanks again

bbhostgrep provides the "testip" tag from the bb-hosts file also, so
you can go through the $1 $2 etc. and see if there's a "testip"
keyword among them.
