[Xymon] A simple xymon client in Powershell

[Jeremy Laidman]

Guys

I thought some of you might find this useful.  It's an implementation of
the "xymon" client program written in 6 lines of Powershell,  It lacks the
ability to wait for data returned by the Xymon server, but it's fine for
sending status and data messages.

param($xymsrv=$(throw "ERROR: Specify xymon server and message lines"))
$socket=(new-object System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient($xymsrv,1984))
$writer=new-object System.IO.StreamWriter $socket.GetStream()
if ($args[0] -eq "@") { foreach ($line in Get-Content $args[1])
{$writer.Write($line+"`n")} }
else { foreach ($line in $args) {$writer.Write($line+"`n")} }
$writer.close()

You could run it like this:

C:\>powershell -file xymon-powershell.ps1 %XYMSRV% "status
%COMPUTERNAME%.mytest green %DATE% %TIME%" "The status of 'mytest' is
'satisfactory' at %DATE% %TIME%" "" "here's the last line"

or if you have the status/data message in a file:

C:\>powershell -file xymon-powershell.ps1 %XYMSRV% @ statusfile.txt


Cheers
Jeremy
