[Xymon] xymon client message STATUSLIFETIME?

Hi,

I have the following problem:

I want to monitor the client data of a machine that is only up once a day.

the machine gets waked up w/ wakeonlan, takes an rsnapshost of other servers, and shuts down again. (no need to be up 24/7 with 8 2 TB HDDs, raidcontroller)...

I know about the normal xymon status+LIFETIME protocol. but I don't see where or how to configure that client to send a LIFETIME with the "xymonclient.sh" - it uses the "client" protocol.

how do I set the validity for these tests to 24h+ ? (1600 minutes should be ok).

thanks in advance.
