Re: {bb} Inaccurate background colour

[Andrew Culver <aculver@uwo.ca>]

Thank you Kimberly and Philip for your replies. I've looked into the 
points you suggested.

bb.html is being updated as I can see the "last update" time is 
accurate. bb2.html also displays the wrong background colour, and its 
time is also accurate.

There are no subdirectories in the logs or hist dirs. There are some 
broken symlinks in here though. We use symlinks to hide the hostname 
from the display so people who don't know what machine X is will see 
"Mail_Server" instead, for example. Some of the links are broken since I 
don't have all the reports coming in yet.

Running bbchkhosts.sh does come up with several unknown directives for 
internal scripts such as oracle and disk checks. Also a few invalid 
hostnames where we haven't put a real hostname in. These will be cleaned 
up in time as I get these scripts installed (I'm moving bb to a new host 
with a new version of bb and we have lots of hairy home-grown scripts to 
piece back together).

I was hoping this might be a common problem with a known solution. But 
as it seems this isn't the case, I'll leave it for now and see if the 
problem corrects itself once I get the internal scripts and broken links 
fixed up. Maybe this is also why I'm unable to disable any hosts/services...

Thanks again
Andrew
