[xymon] FILES syntax error?

[Rolf Schrittenlocher]

Thank you, Tim,

the problem is solved. Your way should work, I found another one. I 
added EXHOST to the default, too:

         FILE /usr/bin/ps HOST=<new host> MTIME>600 
MD5=76b66713137851c1407fd9ea20785bc0              red
         FILE /usr/bin/ps EXHOST=<new host> MTIME>600 
MD5=facb1ea65094c87058df4f0ffdf7306a            red

kind regards,
Rolf
