So in my hosts file i have put a line on one of my hosts hanging off  of my switch:

x.x.x.x    switch-1	# badconn:1:1:5
x.x.x.x    ups-1	# badconn:1:1:5 depends=(badconn:switch-1/badconn)


So if how i have it set up in the hosts file if the switch goes down  then it should only page out when the switch goes down and i should  not see anything from the ups.  Is that correct?

thanks
josh

Sounds like you want to look at the 'route' or 'depends' tag for
bb-hosts. Check the bb-hosts man page.

Cheers.

Does hobbit work off of a parent/child relationship with hosts?   Say i
have a router at a site and 20 or so devices off of that router.  If
the router goes down will i get a page from all 20 something devices
or can i set it up to where if that happens that i only get a page
from the router.  By the way Henrik, great job on bbgen/bb  integration
with Hobbit.  This is fairly easy to setup and comes with alot of  pre-
packaged things that is really nice.  Great Job!!!!!
