Process report tweak? (a request from my boss's boss...)

The process report shows a list of monitored processes at the top,
with the missing process having a yellow dot.
Is it possible in another release to list the bad process FIRST and
SEPARATELY from the others? In email it gets sort of buried when
there's a long list of monitored processes:

red Fri Oct 12 15:50:56 EDT 2012 - Processes NOT ok &green
/usr/sbin/cron (found 1, req. 1 or more) &red httpd (found 0, req. 1
or more) &green nscd (found 1, req. 1 or more) &green java (found 1,
req. 1 or more) &red coldfusion8 (found 0, req. 1 or more) &green cron
(found 1, req. 1 or more)....

If people think this is a good idea, that is

thanks Betsy

If you need a solution right now, you could use an alert script that pretty
much just does this:

     #!/bin/bash
     MESSAGE=`echo "$BBALPHAMSG" | egrep "\&red|\&yellow" | sort`

     echo "$MESSAGE" | mailx -s "$BBHOSTNAME $BBSVCNAME $BBCOLORLEVEL" $RCPT

That gets you just the alerting filesystems.  Then in
/home/xymon/server/etc/alerts.cfg:

     HOST=hostname.server.com  SERVICE=procs
          SCRIPT  /home/xymon/bin/process-alert.sh  user-bf13230a682d@xymon.invalid

I'm using something similar to direct messages to different support groups
for different filesystems.

Heh - I just noticed I wrote "alerting filesystems", but of course it
should work equally well for processes and ports.

I do think this is an enhancement that makes sense out of the box though.
