Just happened to notice: additionally, there is a way to show the ghost
client report in a text form
(xymon-cgi/hobbit-ghosts.sh?SORT=name&MAXAGE=300&TEXT) -- this could
almost certainly be used for alerts if someone had the interest. I don't
have any ghost clients now so I can't see how it would look, but I bet
its formatting is possible to use for a script.
