Hi All

I like to be able to keep track of which process failed out of the list from bb-proctab and restart. Currently bb-procs.sh seems only append the record to a file and reset the proc variable for next process. I like to have rather a proc as an array variable. That way I can pull out the failed process from the array records and restart. Is that a feature that I can request? I can go ahead and modify the bb-procs.sh unless someone already has an extension script that replaces and enriches bb-procs.sh.

I just modified the bb-procs.sh, that comes with bb1.9c, with the following patch. The key part is calling the function restart_proc with the $proc variable. (I chose this over picking an array variable for simplicity.) There are couple ways I guess we can create the function to restart the proc and that is probably out of the scope of this email.
