Hi Andy,

The criticalview.sh script was intended as a replacement for xymongen
hard-coded "critical" version, if I recall correctly. They're two
different functions, so rss will match the static .html file, alas.

I believe the "critical" from xymongen's perspective refers to alerting
only, with criticalview.sh as its own thing.

An .rss response to the criticalview.sh or a merging of the logic together
would probably be a good idea for the future, though.


HTH,
