Spot on, Johann & Trent.  I'll try to make the docs a little more clear
in this respect (documentation isn't my strong suite).

If I have the right understanding about the way devmon works: it's just
the daemon that queries the devices, makes the calculations, generating
the status messages and send them to the BB/Hobbit server as configured
in the devmon.cfg.

Running the devmon -readbbhost is just for updating the internal
database with newly added systems to the bbhosts file, so that the
daemon will queery them in the next loop.

For running devmon -readbbhosts you can setup a cronjab to do it
periodically ( probably every 10 min ..)

Hey MArco

The documentation isnt very clear but,  you have to first get devmon
running in daemon mode first, basically just start it with no options,
you should see if fire off about 6 child processes.  After that then you
need to run devmon with the --readbbhosts option every  couple minutes
to report the data back to hobbit.

I had to first run devmon in the forground with 5 v's   ./devmon -f
-vvvvv     to see errors that I had and fix before the cronjob would
send data back to hobbit.
