I must be blind, but I am unable to find a way to have a xymonnet
test result go yellow instead of red.

If I have the following line in my hosts.cfg:
0.0.0.0   foo.bar.com # telnet

I'd like the telnet test to report yellow instead of red when the
port test is not responding. I see I can prefix it with "?" to have 
it
return clear instead of red, but how can I make it return yellow
instead of red?
Not possible, sorry.

You can use 'delayred' to give it some time to recover without 
triggering an alert.

I have not been able to figure out how to have a conn test (ping test) only turn red if it has been failing for 10 minutes.

Anybody! Please and thank you.
