[hobbit] paging for single process

[White, Bruce]

How does the group parameter on the "files" test allow you to page one group
if one process is down and another if a different process is down.   This is
a function of how the status is set for the "procs" column.  From your link:

"You can have multiple "PROC" entries for the same host, all of the checks
are merged into the "procs" status and the most severe check defines the
color of the status." 

If any monitored process is down, then the status changes to the color you
set and then your paging rules kick in.  There is no way to subdivide the
processes within the "procs" test for paging purposes.   If you wrote a
special test which looks for a specific process, then the paging rules could
be written to page when that new test alarms.

You can use the GROUP parameter:
