[Xymon] Xymon script question

[Scot Kreienkamp]

On my server (RedHat based, so YMMV) I generally put a file in /etc/xymon/tasks.d, one file for each external script.  Same format as for clientlaunch though.

Ah, that works. And the script seems to be behaving itself.

If I place the script in the /usr/lib/xymon/server/ext/ directory as
well, nothing happens. I had earlier modified
/etc/xymon/clientlaunch.cfg as I did on the other client systems, to
let Xymon know about the script, but I guess that isn't the correct
approach on a Xymon server, is it?
