There also used to be a perl-based client running around somewhere, maybe on deadcat. I thought about using it on some Mac servers I inherited, but then decided to install MacPorts and got the client that way.

you cannot just compile a ``xymon'' bin and drop it in on all the other
servers?
then you could just use $ cat statusmsg.txt | $XYMON $XYMSRV "@"
The client can also be compiled completely statically (I've done it with
dietlibc), so shouldn't pull in anything else really.
There are also ways to run the client without installing a local user, so
you can run it with any unprivileged account that has SSH or cron access.
