[Xymon] ssh-test as default

[Tom Moore]

Ah.. work with something long enough and I think I can ignore reading the man pages again. :)

Unfortunately it sounds like you have some scripting/sed work ahead of you :)

.. unfortunately, didn't work like expected :-(

http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/manpages/man5/hosts.cfg.5.html

NOTE: The ".default." host entry will only accept the following tags - 
others are silently ignored: NOCOLUMNS, COMMENT, DESCR, CLASS, dialup, 
testip, nonongreen, nodisp, noinfo, notrends, TRENDS, NOPROPRED, 
NOPROPYELLOW, NOPROPPURPLE, NOPROPACK, REPORTTIME, WARNPCT, NET, noclear, 
nosslcert, ssldays, DOWNTIME, depends, noping, noconn, trace, notrace, 
HIDEHTTP, browser, pulldata.

-> Specifically, note that network tests, "badTEST" settings, and alternate pageset relations cannot be listed on the ".default." host.


thanks & cheers
