I did try this configuration, on a hunch, but the DFPANIC in bbdef.sh seemed
to overwrite the entries in bb-dftab when they were named "disk". I think
you need to use a different ColumnName to get around this. We realized we
could easily just set the DFPANIC for the OS filesystems since their alerts
all go to the same department, and just kept the "app1" and "app2"
definitions in here to go to their respective departments.

Thanks for your help,

Neil
