[Xymon] MQ monitoring on Windows

[Neil Simmonds]

I've got a number of MQ monitors currently running on Aix and Linux but I now have a requirement to add one on a Windows client.

My script for Linux looks something like this,

TMPFILE="$XYMONTMP/mq-$MACHINE.$$"

touch $TMPFILE

echo "client $MACHINE.mqcollect mqcollect" >$TMPFILE

#
while [ $# != 0 ]
do
    QMGR=$1; shift
    sudo -u mqm mqsc $QMGR 'display qlocal(*) curdepth' >> $TMPFILE
done
#

$XYMON $XYMSRV "@" < $TMPFILE

I'm pretty sure I can do the necessary to get the MQ data out into a temporary file, however I've only ever sent data to the server as external tests (by creating a file in the tmp directory) before whereas this seems to send it as Client data.

Has anyone done anything with sending data from BBWin as client data rather than as an external test.
