There's also the 'schedule' option too. <-- Using this method worked!

Thanks,

Possibly adding --debug to cgioptions under ~xymon/server/etc/ might give you some additional info... Sadly, it could be httpd closing the connection :/

If you're doing that many, I might suggest simply generating a series of disable/enable commands and just piping them in via the xymon CLI.

There's also the 'schedule' option too.
