That should work. Works for me on many external scripts.
$BB $BBDISP "status+1w $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOR `cat $StatusFile`"

Subject: [Xymon] custom script run interval
I have a custom script setup on client side, which I want to run on every 24 hours and i don't want to change the default lifetime for other tests.
Used below line but still after 30 mins it is going into purple.
$BB $BBDISP "status+25h $MACHINE.$COLUMN $COLOR `date` `echo -e "Daily status: \
\n$(cat /tmp/status.log) "`"
