Thank you Paul, i think that will choose the second option.
Best regards.

Setuid the script
Sudo the command in the script
Run the script as root
Take your pick. The first one is not secure in the least.
The second one will require the xymon user to be in sudoers with permission to run the command without a password required. Or modifying the script to enter the password (which is not secure)
The last is pretty easy, but would be running outside of the tasks.cfg probably in cron. And so you would need to call the script, most likely, with xymoncmd to get the environment right.
