nwstats2bb external going purple every 30 🔗 link

Hi all,
I'm using the nwstats2bb external to monitor my Novell servers.  It's going
purple about every 30 minutes and then back to green in 1-2 minutes.  It was
working fine under the old BB.  Is anyone else running this external script?
  
Here is what I put in hobbitlaunch.cfg:
 
[nwstats2bb]
        ENVFILE /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/nwstats2bb.ini
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/nwstats2bb_wrap.sh
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/nwstats2bb.log
        INTERVAL 5m
 
 
The nwstats2bb_wrap.sh is this:
 
#!/bin/sh
 
bbhostgrep nwstats|while read line
do
  set -- $line
  # echo $BBHOME/ext/nwstats2bb.pl $2 $1 &
  $BBHOME/ext/nwstats2bb.pl $2 $1 &
done
exit 1

 
The hobbitlaunch.log file shows this:
2005-02-28 08:00:25 Task nwstats2bb terminated, status 1
2005-02-28 08:05:26 Task nwstats2bb started with PID 31694

I was going to point out that hobbitlaunch logs an exit code of 1,
which usually indicates an error condition - but then I see that
it's your script that does an "exit 1". You may want to change that 
to "exit 0" to keep that line out of the logs...

But what's in the logfile from the script itself (the file you point
at with the LOGFILE entry) ?

I'll bet it is some environment setup that Hobbit doesn't do for you
but the nwstats2bb.pl script expects.

Thanks Henrik!  Changing the "exit 1" to "exit 0" fixed it.

By the way, I did have to add BBSLEEP=300 to the hobbitserver.cfg also, but
changing the exit code is what did it.
