[Xymon] adding a custom test in linux client

[oliver]

Take a look at http://xymon.sourceforge.net/xymon/help/howtograph.html

Does dia.sh read /tmp/dia.txt and send the data to the xymon server?
If so, you should have a 'dia' column on the xymon server for the
client in question

Once that is done, there are two more things to complete
a) edit xymonserver.cfg so it starts populating into an RRD file
(requires a xymon restart)
b) edit graphs.cfg to the graphing works (no restart required)
