<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I’ve created a powershell script that upon completion creates a file in C:\Program Files (x86)\BBWin\tmp just as I have many VBS scripts doing. The file is called
Trans and disappears from the tmp directory as would be expected, however the Trans column never updates on the relevant page in Xymon.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">If I copy the contents of the file and create a new file with exactly the same name, then paste the contents in, it disappears as expected and the column updates
on Xymon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
