[Xymon] Custom check interval for different status of custom tests

Another way to do this is with a live query, but that depends on where you allow querying from. Something like: 'xymon $XYMSRV "xymondboard test=thetest color=yellow,red fields=hostname" | xargs -r /usr/bin/yourtestscript.sh

Or just use the "query" command

$XYMON $XYMSRV "query HOSTNAME.TEST"

Or have the script keep track of what the last status it sent - then run the script every 5 minutes, and if the last status was "red" OR more than 30 minutes have elapsed, then re-run the test.

Watch out for the status going purple, if you don't update it before it expires. Use the "status+LIFETIME" to send a status that lasts longer than the default 30 minutes.
