[Xymon] Looking for "page too old" script

[Josh Luthman]

Tim,

I have that right now.  But I don't see how the server is going to know what
the file meta data is unless it's sent to the server somehow.

At this time, probably about half an hour after I added it, the test is
still white.  I'm almost 100% sure hobbit-clients.cfg changes doesn't
require a restart.
