[Xymon] Xymon server report purple because custom client script do not report often enough

[Scot Kreienkamp]

Xymon expects results every 5-10 minutes or the test will turn purple to indicate no report has been received.  If you really want it to run every 60 minutes you need to put something to indicate that in the test.  In the text sent back to the server you have to put something like status+60m or something like that.  Look in the xymon man pages for the exact syntax.
