Hi all:

I have a feeling I have raised this before but I can't find it in the
archives.

What do people think about being able to add a context for an event
comming from a spawn action? As I see it a spawn is really just
another form of input file. As such I claim you should be able to have
a context that identifies the event from a particular spawn command
and corresponding settings for _FILE_EVENT_spawn_uptime (or maybe a
different context name _SPAWN_EVENT_....).

Perhaps something like:

  spawn --context=UPTIME (while true; do sleep 60; uptime; done)

  event --context=REPARSED_SYSLOG 60 %s

could be added to the next SEC release.

Has anybody else wished for this feature to prevent having to add
labels to the spawned data using something like:

 spawn uptime | sed -e 's/^/UptimeProgramOutputData: /'

or is it just me?
