Why not just send the output to the server with the xymon command?

ERROR: you must be root
What I generally do in these cases is run the command from root's cron and capture the output in a file that's readable by the Xymon user. Like so:
*/5 * * * * /sbin/dmraid -r >/tmp/dmraid.out && chgrp xymon /tmp/dmraid.out && chmod 644 /tmp/dmraid.out
Then in the script, in place of "dmraid -r" you just do "cat /tmp/dmraid.out".
