Hi,

just wondering... When you have a multi-bbdisplay setup, what the deal ?

- do the ext scripts have to implement the sending to each display

- or does the bb command send it to every display (thus ignoring the IP given on
commandline)

- or hobbitclient launches the status script once per bbdisplay.


I ask because I build all my scripts over a template (read "set of
functions") I may share, and want to implement report sending right.

The "bb" command sends your "status" message to all of the display
servers, if the first argument is "0.0.0.0" (usually, this will
be $BBDISPLAY which should be set as such when you have multiple
servers. Of course, the BBDISPLAYS variable must also be set for
this to work.

Note that this was severely broken in the RC and all snapshots prior to
yesterday.

Henrik
