[hobbit] CPU utilisation alerts

[Sherman, Larry, GCM]

I use the bb-top.sh extension from deadcat.net to do this on Sun
Solaris, and we modified the src code for bbwin to do it on the PC.
Very doable.

	Hi all 
	
	I'm baaaack :-) 
	For those who might have missed me, I spent a few months
contracting for a company that standardised on BMC Patrol. Wouldn't even
look at Hobbit. 
	BMC is a horrible package, expensive, not very extensible, with
a huge client footprint and overhead, and is very prone to crashing. 
	Sad product. 
	
	But no matter, I am now trying to satisfy my new company that
Hobbit is the one monitor to rule them all, and my new colleagues have
identified a "deficiency". 
	
	This has probably been asked and answered before, but here is
what they want. 
	I have been asked to generate a yellow/red status when absolute
CPU utilisation reaches predetermined thresholds. 
	Yes, I know, without looking at the run-queue this figure is not
very meaningful, but this is what they want. 
	
	The la1 graph in the trends column does an excellent job of
graphing the CPU utilisation, but how do I configure an alert based on
that figure? 
	
	Regards 
	       Vernon
