[hobbit] bbfix functionality in hobbit

[Smith, Jim]

Basically, it was just the scope argument.  And I know all about on-call
weeks...my one backup-analyst and I rotate weeks so I'm on-call half the
year!  But my first focus would be to attack the issue on its home
server.  For instance, if it is a Unix server I would investigate
creating some kind of script that could be put in /etc/inittab to
restart a dead process.

If all else fails, however, you gotta do what you gotta do to get some
sleep at night!

I would tend to agree myself, except 1) some people are asking about
such functionality, and 2) it would be nice during oncall weeks to not
have to get up and restart processes such as procallator, etc.

I would be interested in hearing what talked you out of this, however.
 If nothing else, I can use it to talk other people out of it ;-)
