Hobbit Server - version 4.1.2p1

When a server that's monitored by Hobbit does not respond to ping (it's 
down), Hobbit generates the following message:

nro6000c:conn red [201160]
red <!-- [flags:ordAstILe] --> Wed Nov  1 13:22:18 2006 conn NOT ok 
Service conn on nro6000c is not OK : Host does not respond to ping
System unreachable for 1 poll periods (0 seconds)
&red 10.102.0.197 is unreachable
See http://Hobbit/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOSTSVC=nro6000c.conn

The "!" in the second line of the message causes problems in Linux when 
handling the error message with ksh shell scripts.

I believe that this message is generated by bbnet/bbtest-net.c, line 1582.
If I take out the exclamation, is there a way I can just recompile 
bbtest-net.c and insert it into Hobbit, without re-making the whole 
installation?
Or am I better off re-making the whole thing?

No it doesnt. If you have problems, then you've forgotten to put your
environment variable references inside quotes in the shell script.

E.g. I saved your error message in the file "x", and then:

henrik at osiris:~$ ksh
$ MYMSG=`cat x`
$ echo $MYMSG

nro6000c:conn red [201160] red <!-- [flags:ordAstILe] --> Wed Nov 1
13:22:18 2006 conn NOT ok Service conn on nro6000c is not OK : Host does

&red 10.102.0.197 is unreachable See
http://Hobbit/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?HOSTSVC=nro6000c.conn

$ if test $MYMSG = "bla"; then echo bla; fi
ksh: test: red: unknown operator
$ if test "$MYMSG" = "bla"; then echo bla; fi

Note how the error goes away once you put $MYMSG inside quotes.
