hobbit-client not connecting to server

Asked by rugger1

I recently did a software update on one of my Ubuntu systems after which I had problems with the hobbit-client. The updated client seems to be trying to connect to a local bbd server despite the fact that the variable HOBBITSERVERS is set to the ip address of my xymon (hobbit) server. Has anyone observed this behaviour and is there a fix?

My observation is based on the logfile

Could not connect to bbd@127.0.0.1:1984 - Connection refused

I am running ubuntu 8.04 - package is hobbit-client 4.2.0.dfsg-10 - the one that seems to be causing a few problems, although I have not seen this exact same problem reported,

Managed to work this one out myself eventually by using --debug on hobbitclientlaunch. The updated scripts to the hobbit-client were not converting the HOBBITSERVERS variable to BBDISP for the bb client, hence the client was launching to the default localhost and not my server.

Working now
