Building Hostgroups using Host Config Files

[Adams, Russell L.]

There's a helper script in NACE to generate hostgroups from
configuration files where you use a "hostgroup" field with a comment
before it, ie:

myts.cfg:

define host {
        address x.x.x.x
        alias   myts
#       host_group      TerminalServers
        host_name       myts
        use     TerminalServerTemplate
}
