Install the prerequisite perl modules
Create the notesdata directory ($HOBBITSERVER/etc/notesdata) with ownerships and permissions for your webserver to write to it.
```
mkdir -m 775 /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/notesdata
chgrp apache /usr/local/hobbit/server/etc/notesdata
```
Update the code for your paths
Put the header and footer file under $HOBBITSERVER/web
Put the bbnote_editor.cgi script under the $HOBBIT/cgi-secure
Update your Administration links in $HOBBITSERVER/www/menu/menu_items.js with
```
['Edit Notes', '/hobbit-seccgi/bbnote_editor.cgi'],
```
UPDATE: Ubuntu or Debian users should modify this file instead
```
 /etc/hobbit/web/menu.cfg
```
Insert the following line in Administration section

 <a class=\"inner\" href=\"$BBSERVERSECURECGIURL/bbnote_editor.cgi\">Edit Notes</a><span class=\"invis\"> | </span> \

For xymon 4.3.5 insert following line in $XYMONHOME/server/etc/xymonmenu.cfg

<a class="inner" href="$XYMONSERVERCGIURL/bbnote_editor.cgi">Edit Notes</a><span class="invis"> | </span>

Changelog

2012/01/03
- Adjustments made to make it work and display properly in xymon 4.3.x. My thanks goes to KVDO
- for helping me out with the javascript code and everybody that worked on this add-on.
- Note: Working but code not perfect.

2010-11-03
- Removed the local statement on line 224 in the cgi script as it gave errors when compiling.
- Changed <my local ($oldbar) = $|;> into <my ($oldbar) = $|;>

2010-08-14
- Minor modification to explicitly set the package for local variables (ie, add “my”)

2009-11-26
- Updated the installation section. Ubuntu/Debian uses menu.cfg instead

2007-07-02
- Added code to force Perl to flush its buffers after each output statement. This will, hopefully, address any 'premature end of script headers' errors.

2007-05-05
- Updated to use strict
- Config variables are added to environment
- Capture hosts in include files

2007-05-01
