Description |
|
FQDN |
Are the status logs reported by the clients in a Fully Qualified Domain Name format? If FQDN is set to TRUE, then hosts will be displayed as www.bb4.com; otherwise they will be displayed as www. If you set FQDN to FALSE, make sure no two clients share the same host name (for example, www). If FQDN is TRUE,make sure your hostnames in the bb-hosts file are also in an FQDN format. In almost all circumstances, FQDN should be TRUE. Set it to FALSE only if you have a specific reason to do so. |

BBTMP |
The directory to save temporary files in. |
|
PAGELEVELS |
The status color(s) which should trigger notification messages. This variable is included for compatibility with earlier releases; use the settings in bbwarnsetup.cfg instead. |
|
PAGELEVELSMAIL |
Send only e-mail notifications for these status colors, not pager messages. These colors must also be listed in PAGELEVELS. This variable is included for compatibility with earlier releases; use the settings in bbwarnsetup.cfg instead. |
|
BBDEFSLEEP |
The interval the BBNET server waits for between each iteration of the network tests. |
|
BBUSER |
The UNIX user ID under which Big Brother runs. If you try to start Big Brother using a different user name, it will not work. |
|
STOPROOT |
Set to TRUE to prevent Big Brother from running as root. This is recommended. |
|
BBEXT |
Enter the list of external scripts for Big Brother to run. The scripts must be in BBHOME/ext. This variable is included for compatibility with earlier releases; use the etc/bb-bbexttab file instead. |
|
STARTSLEEP |
The number of seconds for Big Brother to wait between each external script the first time it runs them after starting. |
|
BBPORT |
By default, Big Brother uses port 1984 for client-server communications. You can change this by setting BBPORT to the port you want. If you change the port, you must change it on the server and on all clients sending information to the server. |
