[Xymon] PS Client in "local mode"?

[Timothy Williams]

If you want some particular status analyzed on the Host, then read the
External Data portion of the Doc file. Your external script creates an
ASCII file (no extension) in the data location, then the script picks it up
and sends to Xymon. The name of the file becomes the column name, and the
status is in the file you created. Something like "green The test is good"
. I've not done that, so some playing around would be needed.
