Hi Henrik

I'm trying to use Hobbit 4.1.2 in report-generation mode, as I was doing previously with bbgen 2.x / 3.x, but I'm having a strange problem with start & end dates...

Here's my command line :


START=`date +%s --date="01 sep 2005 00:00:00"`
END=`date +%s --date="30 sep 2005 23:59:59"`

/hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd --env=/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg \
        bbgen --reportopts==$START:$END:1:all \
        --subpagecolumns=2 \
        --pages-last \
        --pagetext-headings \
        /hobbit/server/www/reports-test/


The report is built from august, 9 to october, 25. Is there something I'm not doing the right way ?

Thanks in advance.

Should work exactly the same.

This one was tricky ... I cut-and-pasted your commands and had the same
error, which puzzled me for a bit.

If you look closely at the "--reportopts", you'll notice a double equal-sign. That's what is causing the problem.

There's actually a script included with Hobbit - hobbitreports.sh - which generates daily, weekly and monthly availability reports.
Perhaps you could use that as a template ?


Regards,
Henrik

Sorry for this one... It works fine with a single equal-sign.

Great, I won't have to rewrite my old bbgen scripts :-)

Last question : does hobbitreports.sh work on Unix systems without GNU date ?
If not, you could add GNU coreutils to the prerequisites (it's available for AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, etc.), it provides this command.

Thanks again.
