Is there a way to report a test as purple if it changes from a colour to

I'm not sure why it reported white and not purple. The status report
from the client was truncated, and I assume the 'files' test, therefore,
received no status.
according to the documentation it is possible to tweak the behaviour a
little bit:
http://xymon.sourceforge.net/xymon/help/manpages/man8/xymond_client.8.html
So if you set --no-clear-files the column probably would have switched
to purple instead of clear.
Hello,
Yes, the above option does cause the test to show purple instead of
clear/white (and hence appears on the 'non-green' page).
Many thanks for that.
There is also the option '--clear-color', which could be set to red or
yellow. Setting it to purple is accepted, but xymond then ignores
receiving 'purple' as a status colour. In my test case, the colour
seemed to remain at its previous value (which was red).
John.
