As I mentioned in my earlier e-mail, the PowerShell does not run
external scripts at present, so you will need to use BBWin or set up
Scheduled tasks if you want to use the PowerShell client for xymon
client reports.
I think I can piece together what you tried to do from the exception
reports below.
PS C:\xymon> . .\xymonsend.ps1
PS C:\xymon> xymonsend "ping" "xymonhost"
Is your xymon server called "xymonhost"? If not, that is the problem.
Substitute its real name.
I've updated the README.txt and the code to better handle the case of
using a name which does not lookup to an IP address.
PS C:\Xymon> XymonSend ping xymonhost
XymonSend : No IP addresses could be found for host: xymonhost
At line:1 char:10
+ XymonSend <<<< ping xymonhost
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [Write-Error],
WriteErrorException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId :
Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,XymonSend
