best way to determine if the Xymon server just started?

Ok, I could just do this in the script:

xymon 0 "xymondboard host=xymon1 test=xymond color=green"

As long as that returns green then execute the script.  Thanks for the hint Josh.

Just look at the hobbitd column.  Goes yellow for 5 minutes when it
restarts and says...

exit 1
If xymon just started, otherwise continue.
