[Xymon] BBWincmd

[Jeremy Laidman]

Have you checked your ghost report?  Perhaps it's being rejected due to a
hostname mismatch.

Are you sending a client message?  Client data should come in as a client
message rather than data or status.  See "man xymon" for the format.
 Perhaps you could show us the first 10 lines of the message.<hostname>txt
files?

You could run something like this:
   sudo -u xymon xymoncmd xymond_channel --channel=client sed -n
'/^@@client/,+10p' "
to see if the client messages is being received and processed by Xymon.
 This prints the first 10 lines of every client message.
