[Xymon] ssh-test as default

[Tom Moore]

Just put "ssh" on your servers in your hosts.cfg file.  Then the Xymon server will do a remote ssh connection test.

Thanks all for response

Indeed i need an real ssh-network test
as indicator for heavily paging working-nodes ..

In real the machines are responding with ping
but fromt to time ssh is not working anymore .. :-(

So, i've had to still add the ssh-tag behind each host ...

thanks & cheers
