Hi, I changed the XymonPSClient so it understand messages for the user channel. If a file is found in the externaldata location and it begins with 'usermg', the file is transmitted over the user channel. Of course you also need a parser on the server for the data. We use this to forward inventory information from the client to the server. An other patch is for .ps1 external scripts. We had some troubles getting them running. If the external script ends with .ps1, the powershell is executed and the script is supplied as parameter.
