The log feature is really intended mostly for real application logs, not for 
creating messages for diagnostic scripts. These should rather report directly 
to Hobbit/Xymon. For example, have you tried the prtdiag script from the 
Deadcat site ? It works fine with Hobbit/Xymon, and provides most of the info 
you added to your "log" file ...
