If the second ext script is running in the same environment (or can be
simulated as such by setting env variables), then you can basically
construct the link by hand.

You'll still want to use '&red' as a literal (the CGI actually converts
that just when it displays), but you can put arbitrary HTML after it and
use environment variables from xymonserver.cfg. Something like:

echo "&red - Service 'wombat' was incorrect (<A
HREF=\"$XYMONWEBHOST$XYMONSERVERCGIURL/svcstatus.sh?HOST=$THISHOST&SERVICE=wombat\">See
test results</A>)" >> $YOUROUTPUTFILE
