Not to be contrary, but did you read the Xymon manual? It is absolutely in there (that's how I learned). You can get there from the menus on your display machine's website.

And, I did test throwing a file in the tmp directory on the linux client but it just sits there and never gets picked up by the hobbit client.

Can?t find anything useful on the web?

Hey all,

I have been using the externals with bbwin to run scripts I?ve created for custom tests, but I need to do the same with a linux client I have.

Any ideas how to run an external script with a linux client?

With bbwin, you just use the externals.dll and put your .exe path in the externals section of the xml config file and write your test result to the tmp directory for the hobbit service to pick up.

Thanks,
