Let me make the scenario little bit more interesting.

I have HOST A and HOST B. hobbit client is running on both of them.
If process P should be run only on one of them at a time and that will make
that
HOST, the primary HOST.

So if process P runs on HOST A then I want to be alerted based on PORT tests
on HOST A

if process P runs on HOST B then I want to be alerted based on PORT tests on
HOST B

If process P runs on both HOSTs then I want to be alerted about POST tests
on both HOSTs.
However this third scenario should not happen

I was thinking of creating an entry in bb-hosts with a dynamic HOST name
which will be something like

HOST=%IamPrimary.*
  PROC ..
  PORT ..

That probably makes it a lot more complicated than it may already is.

Please advise.

Thanks
