	Hi,

	Could you please give me pointer to allow me to have a funcitonnal  msgs column ?

	I've tried to use bb-msgs.pl from deadcat, bb-msgs.sh from BB  distro...but it seems that hobbitclient send itself a "clear" status  regularly !


	TIA

From the hobbitd_client man page:

       --no-clear-msgs
              The Hobbit client does not currently generate data for a
"msgs"
              status  column. To avoid any such column from going purple,
hob-
              bitd_client will  generate  a  "clear"  status  (indicating
"no
              data")  instead.  If  you  are running a separate script on
your
              clients that generates the "msgs" column, you must disable
this
              default message by using this option.


Thanks,
Larry Barber

	Thanks a lot for this.
