BBWin bbd column 🔗 link

I have successfully installed and configured bbwin 0.9 on a windows
client. My question is about bbd.

From docs.. "The bbd column shows the status of the Hobbit or Big
Brother service on the host. "

Since bbd refers to a host installed agent, which is not part of
bbwin, how do I disable this in hobbit-server for a given windows
host.

Thanks

"bbd" is a network test, probing port 1984 on the host - this port is
only available on the Hobbit server itself.

If you have it listed for a Windows client - with a red/yellow/green
icon, not just the "there's-no-such-test" dash - then you should remove
the "bbd" tag from the bb-hosts entry for your Windows host. And run
   bb 127.0.0.1 "drop WINDOWSHOSTNAME bbd"
to eliminate the bogus status.

I hate to seem thick, but I am having trouble with your suggestion.
Before posting I spent most of the day trying to figure this out.

From the hobbit server, I am logged in as user hobbit I tried the
following several methods.
--admin-senders=127.0.0.1 is in hobbitlaunch.cfg
I have tried with both (.) and (,) in FQDN

From windows client with bbwin

*******
From the windows client
c:\program files\bbwin\bin> bbwincmd.exe 192.168.222.62:1984 drop
p0054.pmg.local bbd

No error message on client

2007-01-29 13:05:36 Refused message from 192.168.222.61: drop
p0054,pmg,local bbd

*******

What as I doing wrong?
Thanks

"$BB" in what I wrote is the ~hobbit/server/bin/bb command. 
I'm afraid it is my over-exposure to Hobbit and Big Brother scripts 
which makes this seem obvious. I guess it really isn't.

$ $bb 127.0.0.1 "drop p0054.pmg.local bbd"

This should work, if you run it as
  ~hobbit/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "drop p0054.pmg.local bbd"

Henrik,
BIG Thanks ! this did work on the second attempt (LOL).

~hobbit/server I assume implies /home/hobbit/server .... That is, if I
had installed to the /home directory. I had actually installed to
/usr/local/etc/hobbit/

Anyway, don't mean to be noisy. Hope this helps some other n00b.

Regards,
Don

No, it means the subdirectory server below the user hobbit's home directory 
(since most shells expand ~<user> to be the home directory of <user>).

So, let's hope your hobbit user has a home directory of /usr/local/etc/hobbit 
(though, that is quite a weird place to install hobbit to, /usr/local/hobbit 
would make a lot more sense ...).
