===== Description =====

This hobbit server-side script, compatible Unix & Linux, allows nis server monitoring.
 
 The script is based on Henrik's Server-side script examples.  The NIS test itself comes from a revamped bigbrother installation and was changed by different persons from Genome Research Limited.

===== Installation =====

  - Add script to server's ext folder
  - Modify for your environment and add the following to the server hobbitlaunch.cfg <code>
[nis]
        ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
        NEEDS hobbitd
        CMD $BBHOME/ext/hobbit-nis.sh
        LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/hobbit-nis.log
        INTERVAL 5m
</code>
  - Now you can add the "nis" service for hosts in your bb-hosts file.
