Is it possible to send data directly to the xymon server from another
server without having a xymon client sending it? We have some production
servers where I am not comfortable installing the client because it

packages that are not already installed on those servers. Can I have my
own
scripts send data directly?****

you cannot just compile a ``xymon'' bin and drop it in on all the other
servers?

then you could just use  $ cat statusmsg.txt | $XYMON $XYMSRV "@"
The client can also be compiled completely statically (I've done it with
dietlibc), so shouldn't pull in anything else really.

There are also ways to run the client without installing a local user, so
you can run it with any unprivileged account that has SSH or cron access.
