I'm pretty sure I can do the necessary to get the MQ data out into a temporary file, however I've only ever sent data to the server as external tests (by creating a file in the tmp directory) before whereas this seems to send it as Client data.
Has anyone done anything with sending data from BBWin as client data rather than as an external test.
I think the BBwin client includes a commandline utility like the "xymon" tool in the Unix version. You can use this like the Unix tool to send a message to the Xymon server.
Unfortunately, it won't let you send "client" messages. But you can send a status with "client" as the colorname (instead of 'green' or 'red'), and the Xymon server will then handle it as if it were a "client" data message.
This was in fact done for exactly the purpose you describe - getting MQ client data from a Windows box.
