I cannot *quite* understand how the external tests for BB4 are put
together. From the example that ships with the code, please help me
understand these few things I'm missing - thanks very much for any help.
in "ext/ext-proto", the lines
TEST="wx"
MACHINE="montreal,quebec,canada" I understand "wx" - that's a column. Is MACHINE the name I use in
bb-hosts, then? Like:
montreal,quebec,canada www.madeup.com # noconn noping wx
In "ext/ext-proto", the line:
LINE="status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `date`
I understand how "$COLOR" is the color I want the whole background to be,
but how do I send the symbol (the green square, the red x, etc.) I want to putup
on the line I am testing (www.madeup.com, in
this case)?
What I want to do is run an external test for a machine with no IP, but
display my machine name as a line in the display, put up the "correct" icon, as
defined by me, and set the color.
Thanks again.
John
