[Xymon] display multiple line status

Just put in newlines, like this:

$XYMON $XYMSRV "status www,for,com.http date

Web server is OK Another line kind of useful information."

Everything between the double-quotes is sent as-is. Works for me all the time.

Using the example shown in "man xymon",

I can see the status displayed as a single line in the xymon server.

I need to display multiple lines to the xymon server, with the data in the command line rather than a file. I tried,

> $XYMON $XYMSRV "status www,foo,com.http green `date` Web OK\n second

line"

But the status is displayed in one line instead of two in the xymon server

 Thu May 9 16:52:47 PDT 2013 Web OK\n second line

What escape character should I use to specify new line?

Thanks P Yeung
