Re: [hobbit] monitor processes by owner

[Patrick Nixon <pnixon (at) gmail.com>]

Sort of similar to Jerald's idea, but it'll get you the graphs easier. :)

On your db server, go into the client's etc directory and modify the
hobbitclient.cfg.

changing
PS="ps ax"
to
PS="ps ax | $GREP oracle"

Caveat: This will restrict you to *JUST* monitoring processes for
oracle, nothing else on the server in question.
