[Xymon] checking for symlinks

In the mean time, you could use "FILE" (in analysis.cfg) to check for the existence of a file, and use a backtick command (in client-local.cfg) to specify the filename only if it's a symlink. Example:

analysis.cfg:

FILE /etc/.sudoers.local red

client-local.cfg:

file:find /etc/.sudoers.local -type l

If the file is a symlink, it will exist. If it's not a symlink, the Xymon client won't see it, and you'll get a RED as if it didn't exist.

Thanks! Test is successful.
