[hobbit] Can I do macro in hobbit-client.cfg likehobbit-alerts.cfg ?

[Galen Johnson]

Just curious but if you're going to require that cron be running on all your hosts, can't you just add it to your default at the bottom of the file and add exceptions to the host defs? (don't get me wrong, I do understand the need for nested macros...just asking for this particular example)

Im doing the same for now,  it just gets ugly when you have 40 servers
you need to define and could use the one rule to do it, and you have
anywhere from 50 to 60 rules like this.  Im trying to consolidate to
make the file a little more manageable for other folks that arent as
savy with this stuff.
