NAME
bbcombotest - Hobbit combination test tool
 
SYNOPSIS
bbcombotest --help
bbcombotest --version
bbcombotest [--debug] [--quiet]
 
DESCRIPTION
bbcombotest
is a Hobbit extension script that runs on the BBDISPLAY server. 
It combines the results of one or more of the normal
Hobbit test results into a combined test result, using
standard arithmetic og logical operators.
The resulting tests are sent to the Hobbit display server as any 
normal test - so all of the standard Hobbit functions (history,
statistics etc.) are available for the combined tests.
The tool was born from the need to monitor systems with built-in
redundancy and automatic failover - e.g. load-balanced web servers.
But other uses are possible.
 
OPTIONS
- --quiet
- 
Normally, the test status sent by bbcombotest includes information
about the underlying test results used to determine the current
value of the combined test. "--quiet" eliminates this information
from the test status page.
 
- --debug
- 
Provide debugging output for use in troubleshooting problems with
bbcombotest.
 
- --no-update
- 
Dont send any status messages - instead, the result of the combotests
is simply dumped to stdout. Useful for debugging.
 
 
FILES
