hi ppl,

i 've tried to to run bigbrother (web-based unix systems monitor ),
on my linux-box but it doesn't seem to work, did i miss something?

1- when i type  ./runbb.sh & at the prompt , i get  the msg
.....
Starting Big Brother Collectors...
bb: CAN'T CONNECT TO bbd
bb: CAN'T CONNECT TO bbd
bb: CAN'T CONNECT TO bbdgrep: /var/adm/messages:
No such file or directory
grep: /var/adm/messages: No such file or directory
bb: CAN'T CONNECT TO bbd
.....

2-otherwise, when i type bbd at the prompt, i get the msg
bbd: BBHOME is not set in the environment!
Make sure you're running bbd from runbb.sh!
i did already the setting up of BBHOME, pls
have a look at the following attachment!

---------------
#!/bin/sh
# runbb.sh
# BIG BROTHER MAIN SCRIPT
# Sean MacGuire - The MacLawran Group Inc.
# Version 1.06
# Dec 30, 1997
.........
# BBHOME IS THE ROOT DIRECTORY OF BIG BROTHER!!!
# YOU MUST SET THE NEXT LINE TO WHERE BB LIVES
BBHOME="/usr/local/bb"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
export BBHOME

if test "$BBHOME" = ""
then
        echo "BBHOME IS NOT SET IN runbb.sh"
        echo "Please edit runbb.sh and correct this problem!"
        exit 1
fi
......
--------------------

what could be wrong?

bye
