    NAME
         hostgroup - host group entry file format

    DESCRIPTION
         A host group entry is used to merge host  names  to  groups.
         Each  host  group  entry  file defines one group. A group is
         referenced by the sign "@" as first character of  the  name.
         At  this  point of implementation you can use host groups in
         the usermapping(5) configuration. Inside a group  definition
         file  you  can  also  reference  to  groups. This groups are
         called subgroups.

         Each line in the host group entry file specifies a host name
         or a group which belongs to this group.

         A list of currently configured host  group  entries  can  be
         displayed  via  the qconf(1) -shgrpl option. The contents of
         each enlisted host group entry can be shown via  the  -shgrp
         switch. The output follows the hostgroup format description.
         New host group entries can be created and  existing  can  be
         modified  via  the  -ahgrp,  -mhgrp  and  -dhgrp  options to
         qconf(1).

    FORMAT
         A host group entry contains at least two parameters:

         group_name keyword
              The group_name keyword defines the host group name. The
              rest  of  the  textline  after the keyword "group_name"
              will be taken as host group name value.

         hostname
              The name of the host which is now member of  the  group
              specified  with  group_name.  If The first character of
              the hostname is a "@" sign the name is used  to  refer-
              ence a hostgroup(5) which is taken as sub group of this
              group.

    EXAMPLE
         This is a typical host group entry:

         group_name bigMachines

         @calculate

         speedhost

         The entry will define a new host group  called  bigMachines.
         In  this host group is the host speedhost and all members of
         the host group calculate.
