CPU utilisation alerts

Vernon,  The attached 2 files are from: http://www.deadcat.net/
 I currently use the bb-top-3.2.sh, which some custom mods for my
environment that you don't need, so I picked up a clean one for you.
 I also included a new (2003), perl based bb-top.pl that I noticed.  I am
going to look at it, and migrate to it if it make sense.
 On the PC platform, we noticed that bbwin would not trigger as we had
hopped on a multi core machine when a process would bury one core, but
the other would be idle.  I'll dig up the details for the changes we
made if you, or anyone else is interested.
  Larry

	Hi Larry 	
	I am a little rusty with Hobbit :-( 	Any chance you can post the changes you made on your client and
server configs? 	Did you define a new graph to go with this test? 	
	Regards 	     Vernon

I use the bb-top.sh extension from deadcat.net to do this on
