RE: {bb} Double mailings

["Krintila, Jeff" <JeffKrintila@mcc.net>]

Ummmm...yeah...this will work unless you have several admins and you would have to create several groups of procs to monitor...makes for a very very messy BBDISPLAY... no?
I was hoping for a way (maybe a BB enhancement here) so that the bbwarn could have a generic "service" page for procs. Something like how a firewall rule scenario works...rule 1) GEAC process, page Bill, rule 2) SYBASE process, page Darryl, rule 3) AIX process, page Jeff, rule 4) * (all else), page Lucifer.
How does that sound?
