send another ps listing as a client message with a unique Collector ID
and run this as frequently as required When I do this, I find on the
server that the client data does indeed get updated every minute but the
extra ps listing (which I put in a section called '[ps]') is not
apparently processed against analysis.cfg. I know I can do this all on
the client with a status message but I wanted to keep the configuration
central and re-use the PROCS settings in analysis.cfg.

The 'collector
ID' is used by Xymon to choose which module is used to process the data.
So if you change the collector ID, then the data will be ignored by
xymond_client. 

Try sending the data with the normal collector ID
(blank), and I think that should work fine.
