Well, whaddayano - one learns something new every day!

This was too good to just leave in the mailinglist archive, so I collected the Perl, Bash- and Korn-shell suggestions into the Xymon "Tips & Tricks" document. See http://www.xymon.com/xymon/**help/xymon-tips.html#noinstall<http://www.xymon.com/xymon/help/xymon-tips.html#noinstall>

Another one for the list. This works well enough to be a drop-in replacement for the xymon binary on some AIX systems here. it gets you (optional) encrypted delivery.

 #!/bin/sh

 # Shell script replacement for the xymon binary

 export XYMONURL="https://server.domain.com/xymon-cgi/xymoncgimsg.cgi"

 # the curl option "--capath" designates a directory with CA

certificates # to validate secure server connections. If your xymon server doesn't # use https, that line can be removed.

 if [ "$2" = "@" ]; then
    # read message from stdin
    $XYMONHOME/bin/curl -s -S -L -m 30 \
       --capath /etc/pki/tls/certs \
       -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
       -H "MIME-version: 1.0" \
       --data-binary "@-" \
       $XYMONURL
 else
    # arg 2 *is* the message
    $XYMONHOME/bin/curl -s -S -L -m 30 \
       --capath /etc/pki/tls/certs \
       -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
       -H "MIME-version: 1.0" \
       --data-binary "$2" \
       $XYMONURL
 fi

 exit 0
