Checking for mutually exclusive processes

Hi Kevin,

 Unfortunately, that isn't what I need.

Given ProcessA and ProcessB,
 If ProcessA is running AND ProcessB is running
 then YELLOW
 else      if ProcessA is NOT running AND ProcessB is NOT running
     then YELLOW
     else GREEN


 ProcessA and ProcessB are mutually exclusive; one OR the other must be running, but not BOTH.

In the file hobbit-clients.cfg

You can have something like
HOST=server
	PROC cron 1 1

This would be a min of 1 and a max of 1.

Hi,

  I need to check whether one, but not both of two processes is
running.
If either process is running, I should get a green light.
If both are running, or neither one is running, I need to yellow flag
it.

Is there some way to do this with a PROC rule in hobbit-client ?


Thanks,
Tom
