[Xymon] Generating alerts by non-xymon shell scripts

[deepak deore]

Hi,

I have one shell script which generates apache allow,deny host file weekly,
tests the syntaxt by "apachectl -t", sends email if syntax errors.

If no syntax errors then push the file and to apache graceful restart and
then send success email.

Is there a way I can generate xymon alert instead of sending emails. Upon
success xymon status will be green and failure will generate red/ yellow.

I can do this by xymon scripts but wanted to check if there is simple way
to generate xymon alerts based on normal shell scripts which will avoid
emails and everything would be centralized to xymon.

Thanks,
Deepak
