RE: {bb} Customizing Pages

Sounds cool, but how does a user choose which "pageset" or version of the
display that they view?

The bbgen toolkit - a BB add-on available from www.deadcat.net - lets you do
this; I call it "pagesets". What it boils down to is having a number of
different layouts based on the information you have about the hosts you
monitor.

You can do the same thing with the stock BB tools - just setup a dummy
bb-hosts file with the second layout and run bb-display.sh twice, first with
the original bb-hosts file, and second with the alternate one (change the
BBHOSTS environment variable to point at the file you use). It's just easier
to configure with bbgen (and faster).
