[Xymon] ESXi Hardware Health Monitor

[Josh Luthman]

Got it via IE, may be a Chrome issue.

Is there an install guide for *nix?  I see the Window jobs but I'm
wondering if I just do the same stuff in Cron, like below?

*/5 * * * perl /foobar/getESXHostHealth.pl --server
xymonserver.foobar.com--username root --password password
