[hobbit] Re: Process monitoring

I figured it out.

I wrote a script that will be on fd402 and it will monitor the processes
that the dba wants.

Than i have it report to the machine quad.

That way it will keep them seperate when reporting as if quad was a server

Thank you for everyones help....and dominique your idea words too!

The only possibility I see is to run two clients on host fd402.
The second client will be started with --hostname=quad

bb-hosts:

    10.11.12.13 fd402 # <all tests>
    10.11.12.13 quad  # noconn

hobbit-clients.cfg:

    HOST=fd402
       PROC myproc1
    HOST=quad
       PROC myproc2

hobbit-alerts.cfg:

    HOST=fd402
       MAIL admin at example.com
    HOST=quad SERVICE=procs
       MAIL dba at example.com
