Hey, David

I am currently using SCM software(RCS) to manage bb-hosts and other configuration files.
Do you know if there is a way to implement rollback of change operations on bb-hosts* files in MySQL/PHP ?

This is my only concern for switching to MySQLTABLE_TO_BBHOST type of architecture.


I created this URL, trying to capture this email threads into formal doc.
Please document your work there if you can/interested.

Did you check out qWikiOffice since you are a PHP person ? 
I am dreaming(since I know little php currently) to port qWikiOffice or TomatoCart's admin tool to xymon server. 



Please take care, I need your php skill to help/work on xymon dashboard.
