[xymon] alert on proc while both hosts running the same process at the same time

[Vernon Everett]

Henrik's solution with combo tests is the easiest, but might give
false positives if you are monitoring other procs as well as the
cluster processes.
Mine is a little more complex, but will not be effected by other proc alerts.

My advice? Keep it as simple as you can get away with. Use Henrik's
method if you can.

Regards
