The script is a simple (and a little ugly) Bash shell script that uses Bacula's bconsole "status dir" command output to see if any jobs are waiting on operator intervention, and it also checks the last "x" number of jobs to see if any of them failed and reports both instances back to a Xymon monitoring server.
For those who do not know, Bacula is an open-source, enterprise network backup system that is widely used. It may be found here:
I wrote the script a while back but modified it today to include checking for "intervention required" type issues. An entry for the script has been added to Xymonton (http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php/monitors#available_monitors), and may be found here:

There are currently no instructions on installing it, but they will be up shortly. Basic instructions for installing such a script may be found in the Xymon man pages as well.
Hope this helps someone somewhere. :)
