Question about bbproxy and bbtest-net

Hi all

I'd like to run a Hobbit server, which would have to do the following :
- run network tests (bbtest-net)
- act as a proxy for incoming BB status (bbproxy).

The tests results of bbtest-net and bbproxy should be sent to another 
Hobbit server.

Is this possible ? I can see how to run bbproxy, but not how to stop the 
main hobbitd daemon...

Thanks in advance for any clue.

Simply run  the bbproxy to send the status to the other server and then set theip of the other server in BBDISPLAY in hobbitserver.cfg

Just enable the proxy- and network-test tasks in hobbitlaunch.cfg, and
disable all the other tasks. You must also remove the "NEEDS hobbitd"
entries for the bbnet task.

Thanks Henrik, I thought it wasn't possible to disable hobbitd :


# This is the main Hobbit daemon. You cannot live without this one.


Maybe this comment in hobbitlaunch.cfg should be modified ? Something 
like this


# This is the main Hobbit daemon. You cannot live without this one, 
unless you run the bbproxy task.

Or:

# This is the main Hobbit daemon. This must be running on at least
# one server in your setup. If you are setting up a server to do
# just network tests or run bbproxy, it is OK to disable this (then
# you also need to remove the "NEEDS hobbitd" lines for the tasks 
# you want to run).
