Josh,
That probably makes more sense then to use Lynx, good idea.
What's with the "x" in the variable?
If for some reason $COL is the null string, the test doesn't work. Add
an "x" in front to be sure.
Would you mind telling me what values you used for date?
It's just adding a timestamp to the log file. See "man date"
$ date "+%x %X restarting purple devmon"
31/05/2011 16:16:04 restarting purple devmon
David.

I've had this issue since day one (which is over two years now).
I created a "devmon watchdog" script that's runs every 5 min
using lynx (txt base html browser) which checks if the status of
devmon (shows as dm test) on bb-monitor. If its purple then I kill
the devmon process and start it up again....band-aid solution, but
it does the trick.
I no script expert, but can share the bash script if you want/need.
Here's mine (replace xymonserver with your hostname):
#!/bin/sh
COL=`bb xymonserver "hobbitdboard xymonserver.dm
<http://xymonserver.dm>; fields=color"`
if [ "x$COL" == "xpurple" ] ; then
(date "+%x %X restarting purple devmon"
/etc/init.d/devmon restart) | tee /var/log/devmon-restart.log | mail
-s "Restarting devmon" xymonadmin
