[Xymon] Enable/disable Issue

[Matt Vander Werf]

Something like this should work:

./xymon 127.0.0.1 "disable xymon.conn 1m "powered\ down\ for\ now""
./xymon 127.0.0.1 "disable xymon.conn -1 "powered\ down\ for\ now""

Need to escape the spaces with backslashes in the message and also put the
<message> in it's own quotation marks. I do commands like this from the
command line all the time. Using "-1" will also work to "disable until OK",
instead of specifying a duration like "1m".
