[Xymon] File Monitoring

[Steve Holmes]

Brilliant! That last paragraph led me to judicious use of PAGE= and a
"CLASS=linux EXPAGE=" line that works for me since all of the debian hosts
are on 3 pages (so far :-). And this way I didn't have to ask the debian
admins to change their Xymon client configuration.

Thanks!
Steve
