I have done it using a client channel test based on Henrik's template,
which can be extended for various other functionality - I've put some
stuff in there for checking whether the client has a default gateway on
.1 (this bit me once with a host with static IP but gateway coming - or
not - from DHCP), and also a check for amount of memory allocated to the
service console on an ESX host.

You need the following in ~hobbit/server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg

|#
# script that checks incoming "client" messages for various conditions
#
[client-check]
       ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
       NEEDS hobbitd
       CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=client
--log=$BBSERVERLOGS/client-check.log $BBHOME/ext/client-check.pl

|The client-check.pl script attached sits in the ext directory. It uses
the hacked version of BigBrother.pm (also attached). It was originally
from deadcat but I've tweaked it a bit - there's also some ancient
history in there no longer relevant to xymon. Really need a
Xymon::Client module that Buchan suggested.

David.
