Define a new entry in protocols.cfg for your test. There is no reason 
you can't modify the ssh test, just be prepared to re-write your 
protocols.cfg with every update.

Because protocols.cfg gets rebuilt with an update, I've moved all of my 
customizations into a another file in subdirectory protocols.d and added 
the following line to protocols.cfg

> directory /opt/xymon/server/etc/protocols.d
