Why not use dialup?  That way it will so the tests if it can connect and if
it can't it will go clear.

So our XYMON host ISP seems to be having ICMP issues.
conn requests are randomly failing causing false alarms.
I added 'noconn' :
2.2.2.2. test.host # noconn  ssh ssh-tunnel -
However what happens is, it stops the test which is fine, but it holds
the 'red' status, or the last status it recorded.
After about 30 minutes it turns purple.

How can I get rid of the conn test altogether?
If you're stopping "conn" tests for good, just issue a "drop HOST conn"
command to xymon after adding noconn and you'll be all set.
