This is a TCP listener I added to the bb-services file on the server. The test is to telnet to the port expect an ok and if anything else comes thru it goes yellow. I believe you are right about the underlying test not running as these showed purple before I removed them with the drop command. I will dig in and see if I can discover why these are not testing. A manual telnet and other test I set up in the same fashion still work so this is a bit boggling. Any suggestions as to how I can trouble shoot xymon testing, is much appreciated as is the help given so far

What test did you drop, and how is that test running - built-in on client, built-in on server, or ext test or what?
You can force a status with bb like so:
/usr/local/xymon/server/bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "status server.example.com mytest green" but that's just going to give you your dot back, it's not going to solve your underlying problem.
