You say that a second instance of bbtest.net doesn't work?
It may be that you just need to ensure that you have XYMONNETWORK (not sure of the 4.2.3 equivalent of this, I'm on 4.3.4) set for normal tests as well as the 30minute test.
I found that it was testing on the normal test and on the new slow test.
Now that XYMONNETWORK is set in the script to "slowtests" for the delayed test and "standard" in XYMONSERVER.CFG for the normal tests it works successfully.

How do I force xymon server 4.2.3 to do http test in 30 mins interval for one host only?
We are asked not to probe this client with any faster frequency for some odd reason.
I can only think of a ext script to do that. Is there a way xymon can do that natively?
bbtest-net with --test-untagged and then a separate ext script with bbtest-net --timeout=30m for this particular host with NET:foo won't work. Since it is not changing the frequency of the test.
I don't see any other option in ./bbtest-net --help
Thanks
