I know this sounds like a strange request, but here is why I am asking for it.
I run my Keezer off of the same BCS I use to brew with. If I hit All Stop it obviously kills the process that monitors the keezer, and that is bad.
Is this a possibility for a future release ? Or can I modify some files in the BCS myself to do this ?
Can we add the ability to exclude a process from an all stop

All stop is more like an emergency button. Your normal brew process flow shouldn't rely on it for stopping your brew day.

Re: Can we add the ability to exclude a process from an all
I totally agree, but when I have an emergency on the brew system that requires me to use an All Stop, I do not want it to kill my keezer process as it has nothing to do with the brewing system.

Yeah, excluding certain processes for the All Stop kind of defeats the purpose. What I would do is to create a new process and use the Spawn/Kill processes feature to kill only the processes that you need.
Process: Kill My Procs
Time0: enable countdown
Exit Condition Time0 <= 0 goto Proc Off
Kill: check processes that you want killed.
Since the spawn/kill are applied on the state exit, you will need to have an exit condition that is always true, like a timer that expires immediately. This also serves to exit the Kill My Procs process, so that it functions like a push-once button.
