Just put in newlines, like this:

$XYMON $XYMSRV "status www,for,com.http `date`

Web server is OK
Another line kind of useful information."

Everything between the double-quotes is sent as-is. Works for me all the
time.

I am using xymon 4.3.11.

Using the example shown in "man xymon",
$XYMON $XYMSRV "status www,foo,com.http green `date` Web OK"
I can see the status displayed as a single line in the xymon server.

I need to display multiple lines to the xymon server, with the data in the
command line rather than a file.  I tried,
$XYMON $XYMSRV "status www,foo,com.http green `date` Web OK\n second
line"
But the status is displayed in one line instead of two in the xymon server

     Thu May 9 16:52:47 PDT 2013 Web OK\n second line

What escape character should I use to specify new line?

Thanks
