See all the fun stuff one can do with Xymon?

Yeah, that's it's usage.
So, I guess from time to time the clients have issues hitting the
server?
Never thought to test in that direction.

It appears (at least from what I read) that the LDAP module is a
test
from the Hobbit/XYmon Server to the LDAP server.

As can be seen, we have it running every 4 hours. The status
check
should be green, however, it goes to purple. Is there a way (and
where/how) to change the default timeout for this, as I think the
4
hour time is making it puke.
Both these scripts are on the client side.

Hi,
Could you share your script on xymonton ?
Regards,
Damien
Thank you for the code, but I think it should be very nice to share on
xymonton, in order to allow any other ppl to use your script, instead of
rewriting one from scratch. It should also allow you to be contacted if
bugs or code optimization have been found
