[Xymon] Tests for the xymon-server

[Roland Soderstrom]

Thanks Henrik,
That works perfectly.

I think Ryan is correct in saying that this should be included by default.
You expect it to behave as any client.
I couldn't find any reference about the include statement in any docs I looked in!
Man page for tasks.cfg doesn't have anything.

Hi,

you could add your extra tests to clientlaunch.cfg, but by default this file is not included in the config read from tasks.cfg.

So either add your extra tests directly in tasks.cfg, or add
  include /usr/lib/xymon/client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg
to your tasks.cfg file.


Regards,
Henrik
