The idea was to keep only one copy of the config files to
be honest. The only directories that are together are the etc and ext
directories. Everything else is separate.
I think my question was more about the behaviour of the
server processes an if they run any of the local stuff themselves. I have
been looking at the structure a bit more closely this morning and I think I have
a better idea of what is going on. But one other question.
Say you have server1 and server2. Server1 is your server
and Server2 is your client. You obviously want to monitor the server as well as
the client so do you specifically start both server and client code or should
the server also kick off the bblocal stuff. (I know that this doesn't happen as
the bblocal stuff is only in the client dist. So I guess you kick off both server and client code on a server ? Does that mean that you do not use the
ext directory that is part of the server dist then ?
Cheers

I'm as
confused as Kimberly. Big Brother is divided into two separate pieces:
the client and the server. Install them both (say in usr/local/bbserver
and /usr/local/bbclient) and run them separately. By attempting to combine them you are going to cause yourself problems, and make your
configuration unique such that others (us, for example ;-) won't be much
help.
If I might
ask, why would you want a distribution area for the server, anyway? It's
designed so you only have to distribute the client.

Also, I have just checked, all of the files in the
server distribution from the etc directory that are not specific to the server (bbdef-server.sh for example) are identical to the client versions. I
was pretty sure that was the case as that was one of the reasons why I did
this in the first place.
When you run the server code on a box, what is responsible for kicking off the local tests ? If I can find that out then I
will have something to go on. As I said there is a variable that is set in
the bbrun.sh script but that seems to start them up according to the output
but I can't find the bb-local.sh script running.

I'm not entirely sure I followed that. You
combined the etc folders for your server and client? Because that would
most definitely screw it up... the server and the client need to be in
separate directories and started out of those separate directories. Please
correct me if I interpreted that wrong.
Guys,
I have an
issue with the server component of big brother. All of the local tests
show up purple. Even if I set the bblocal to TRUE in the runbb.sh script
so that the local stuff runs explicitely it still doesn't work and the
bblocal dies with no errors reported into BBOUT.
I am
worried that I have inadvertantly screwed with the config because I have
combined the etc directories from the client and the server into one area
so that I can have the same distribution area for both server and client.
Anyone
got any ideas ?
Cheers
