Client debugging? 🔗 link

Hey all,
 I'm trying to add a client to hobbit using the hobbit client.

 I ran the configure client, make, and I started the client, but I'm not
receiving the messages on the hobbit server.

 It appears all the processes are running correctly.

 How do I turn on debugging for the client so I can see if it's generating
any goofy errors?

 Uname -a for the system:
Linux bigfoot.somerville.ma.us 2.6.11-13mdk #1 Tue Nov 29 01:32:41 MST 2005
x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ unknown GNU/Linux

Thanks,
Pat

Check out the output of "uname -n", which is what the client claims it
is against the server.  I had that issue until I dug into the code and
figured out that the node "Kramer" (client) was not matching the server
entry of "Kramer.hmgc.mcw.edu".   

You can fix this by adding a CLIENT:hostname alias in your bb-hosts
file.

Assuming you're using the 4.2 release candidate, try the "Ghost report"
and see if your client is on the list. If it is, then it is using a
different hostname for its reporting than what you have in the bb-hosts
file.

Just look in the files in the ~hobbit/client/logs/ directory. And check
if there's a ~hobbit/client/tmp/msg.<hostname>.txt file with lots of
info collected by your client script.
