well I think, Henrik meant a separate service column for just that
proc, not the proc service column.
I am aware of bbcombohost and that is what I was referring when I side
server side ext in OP.
But did not want pollute any other idea by mentioning it ahead of
time. and it worked :-) .

I like your one as it gives some cool ideas on how to monitor stuff. I
will save it in cool xymon
tricks depot.

All ideas, that have been presented here so far, require a separate
service column for my specific proc,
lets call it clusterproc.

So based on that, I will go with bbcombotest just because it is
simpler and I am using it for other tasks
within xymon
