[Xymon] Running server-side custom test more often than every 5 minutes

[Ribeiro, Glauber]

I had this problem again today... this time I used the "1m" syntax, and it worked (good), but it still took 2 xymon server restarts (after waiting about 1/2 hour and not seeing a change) for xymon to pick up the change.

I even made innocuous changes to tasks.cfg to see if that would trigger an update.

It's not a big deal anyway.

I waited about 15 minutes, before I changed from "1m" to "60". 

I was suspicious it wouldn't pick up a change in an include file, so I restarted xymon server after each change.

Hmm.

1m *should* be a valid syntax since, as you'd indicated, it's used
elsewhere. The appropriate parts are in xymonlaunch.c as well, even in
4.3.10.

You mentioned it was an include file; I seem to recall occasional issues
back then where include'd files didn't always get walked for changes, but
my testing shows this to be working.

Do you know about how long xymonlaunch was running it in 5m intervals
after having changed it to 1m?
