hobbitlaunch.cfg

HOBBITLAUNCH.CFG(5)						File Formats Manual					       HOBBITLAUNCH.CFG(5)

NAME

       hobbitlaunch.cfg - Task definitions for the hobbitlaunch utility

SYNOPSIS

       ~xymon/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg

DESCRIPTION

       The hobbitlaunch.cfg file holds the list of tasks that hobbitlaunch runs to perform all of the tasks needed by the Xymon monitor.

FILE FORMAT

       A task is defined by a key, a command, and optionally also interval, environment, and logfile.

       Blank  lines  and  lines starting with a hash mark (#) are treated as comments and ignored.  Long lines can be broken up by putting a back-
       slash at the end of the line and continuing the entry on the next line.

       An entry looks like this:

	   [hobbitd]
		 ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
		 CMD /usr/local/xymon/server/bin/hobbitd

	   [updateweb]
		 ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
		 CMD /usr/local/xymon/server/bin/bbgen
		 NEEDS hobbitd
		 GROUP webupdates
		 INTERVAL 5m
		 ONHOST localhost
		 MAXTIME 10m
		 LOGFILE /var/log/xymon/updateweb.log

       The key is enclosed in angle brackets, and must be unique for each task. You can choose your key-names as you  like,  they  are	only  used
       internally in hobbitlaunch to identify each task.

       The  command  is defined by the CMD keyword. This is the full command including any options you want to use for this task. This is required
       for all tasks.

       The DISABLED keyword means that this command is disabled.  hobbitlaunch will not start this task. It is recommended that you  use  this	to
       disable	standard  tasks, instead of removing them or commenting them out. Upgrades to Xymon will add standard tasks back into the file, so
       unless you have them listed as DISABLED then tasks may re-appear unexpectedly after an upgrade.

       The ONHOST keyword tells hobbitlaunch that this task should only run on specific hosts. After the ONHOST keyword, you must provide a "regu-
       lar  expression";  if  the  hostname where hobbitlaunch runs matches this expression, then the task will run. If it doesn't match, then the
       task is treated as if it were DISABLED.

       The MAXTIME keyword sets a maximum time that the task may run; if exceeded, hobbitlaunch will kill the task. The  time  is  in  seconds	by
       default,  you  can  specify minutes, hours or days by adding an "m", "h" or "d" after the number. By default there is no upper limit on how
       long a taskmay run.

       The NEEDS instructs hobbitlaunch not to run this task unless the task defined by the NEEDS keyword is already running. This is used e.g. to
       delay the start of some application until the needed daemons have been started. The task that must be running is defined by its key.

       The  GROUP  keyword  can  be used to limit the number of tasks that may run simultaneously. E.g. if you are generating multiple pagesets of
       webpages, you dont want them to run at the same time.  Putting them into a GROUP will cause hobbitlaunch to delay the start of  new  tasks,
       so  that  only  one  task will run per group. You can change the limit by defining the group before the tasks, with a "GROUP groupname max-
       tasks" line.

       The INTERVAL keyword defines how often this command is executed. The example shows a command that runs every 5 minutes.	If no interval	is
       given,  the  task is only run once - this is useful for tasks that run continually as daemons - although if the task stops for some reason,
       then hobbitlaunch will attempt to restart it. Intervals can be specified in seconds (if you just put a number there), or in  minutes  (5m),
       hours (2h), or days (1d).

       The ENVFILE setting points to a file with definitions of environment variables. Before running the task, hobbitlaunch will setup all of the
       environment variables listed in this file.  Since this is a per-task setting, you can use the same hobbitlaunch instance to run	e.g.  both
       the server- and client-side Xymon tasks. If this option is not present, then the environment defined to hobbitlaunch is used.

       The  ENVAREA setting modifies which environment variables are loaded, by picking up the ones that are defined for this specific "area". See
       hobbitserver.cfg(5) for information about environment areas.

       The LOGFILE setting defines a logfile for the task.  hobbitlaunch will start the task with stdout and stderr redirected to  this  file.	If
       this option is not present, then the output goes to the same location as the hobbitlaunch output.
