Modify bb-hosts on the same server as where you run the Axis test.
The bb-axis.sh needs a *local* configuration file (bb-hosts) on the host
where it is running, of course. How could it otherwise read its settings?
bb-axis.sh is a network test: it connects to remote Axis print servers and
downloads some statistics. You can run it on the display server or on the
BBNET server or on any server of your choise.

Do you mean the bb-hosts on the display server? Here is my
current line:
192.168.1.5 blah.yadda.com # testip !telnet axis

I am using the bb-axis.sh to monitor a total of 26 Axis

Use the "axis" keyword in bb-hosts:
127.0.0.1 hostname # axis
Known problems: bb-axis.sh uses ftp to get status reports
from the Axis
print servers. Sometimes the ftp connection might hang
because of network
related problems or bugs in ftp clients etc. As bb-axis.sh works
sequentially, all tests are blocked until the hung ftp
process is killed.
This situation is easy to detect: all axis tests go purple,
or clear if
they are "dialup". If you are unlucky enough to have such a
system that
hangs occasionally, then you just need to adjust the PURPLEDELAY of
bb-axis.sh and have a cron job to kill old ftp-processes.
But if you are
lucky you will never encounter this annoyance.
Of course I could modify the bb-axis.sh to make it
parallel... I have just
been to lazy for that... If you have trouble with the
script, then let me
know and I'll make some little modifications.
Note: If you want the bbchkhosts.sh diag script to work
too, then add
"axis" there too. Something like this: bbchkhosts.sh:
Around line 144:
case $param
in
http* | dns | dig | BBNET | BBDISPLAY | BBPAGER |
BBRELAY:* |
dialup | noping | testip | noconn | badconn:* | class:* |
route:* | axis )

Hi,
I'm trying to get the above two ext scripts to work. I get
no errors for
either of them, but no output in the BBDISPLAY. For the
bb-axis.sh
especially, I am wondering how the heck it knows the IP of
the print server
to monitor. I can't see where to tell it that. For the
bb-top.sh, I have an
empty bb-toptab because I wanted to see the default values.
Do I have to
have something in it? Also should bb-top.sh be in the ext
scripts for the
server, or for the client for which I want it to run.
I realize these are two different scripts, but I wanted to
throw it out there
to see who else is using them.
Thanks,
Misty
