Re: [xymon] Planned downtime



Do you know about the notes directory??  Somewhere like
<xymonhome>/server/www/notes.  Drop a file in there called
"myserver.domain.com.html" and you'll get a link on the info page just under
the Hostname/OS/IP lines.  You'll also find that the hostname becomes a link
wherever it appears in the main or non-green pages.

Not as good as having it in the info page, but better than nothing.
