Do you have a sample of the data you're trying to send with the xymon command? Also, can you provide the specific command you're running to try to send?

Depending on the nature of the test this extension is sending, only the first line may be relevant.

For me, most of my extensions send "status" messages. From the manpage, the format for that is:

status[+LIFETIME][/group:GROUP] HOSTNAME.TESTNAME COLOR <additional text>

The manpage also states:

The "additional text" normally includes a local timestamp and a summary of the test result on the first line. Any lines following the first one are free-form, and can include any information that may be useful to diagnose the problem being reported.

For me, the "additional text" will show up on the page for the "service status" pages, but no real action is taken on them. That is of course, the "additional text" is setup to be collected for graphing.

So again... sample of data and command you're running would be helpful and "what are you expecting to happen".
