[Blue-devel] Check in of remove host/service code, and bug fixes.

[Rob B. <rob...@ar...>]

All,

I've checked in the latest registry & agent code. If you have the chance 
to play with this, please do as I'd really appreciate some feedback.

I also checked in two new commands, namely delete_host and 
delete_service. As the name would suggest, they enable you to remove 
hosts/services from blue on the fly. The commands try to be as clean as 
they can be by firstly stopping all checks of any hosts/services 
specified in these commands. To facilitate this I have also checked in 
an update to commands.java, which is explained below.

There are three changes to commands.java. The first is to expose a new 
method, namely disable_host_services(objects_h.host host). This method 
will disable all services on a given host. While I appreciate that there 
is an external command for this task already, this simple extension 
prevents us from having to write to the external command file.

There are also two updates to commands.java to fix bug id 1686153. The 
bug has been logged on the tracker and the fix has been checked in.

There is also an update to objects.java. Within objects.java there are 
several new methods:

remove_host(string hostname),
remove_host_services(string hostname)
remove_host_from_host_list(string hostname)
remove_host_from_host_hashlist()
remove_host_from_hostgroups
remove_host_from_hostgroups_list
remove_host_from_hostgroups_hashlist()

and the same for services. These are there to support the above commands 
that allow objects to be removed from Blue.

I've also checked in an extremely small update to blue.java. In this 
I've moved the location in which the embedded console is started. Blue 
will now complete sanity checks of it's configuration before attempting 
to launch the console. It became increasingly annoying having to wait 
for the console to load only for Blue to bail out due to an error in the 
config files.

cheers

Rob
