To clarify:
We are OK with having the configuration file changing, we are just
monitoring the existence of one particular variable.
(if we didn't have people editing this file I could just put it into
puppet and be done with it)
New requirement:
var=ON may or may not exist, this is the default state.
we just need to go yellow if var=OFF
Sounds like a custom test is what I need.

What's the best and simplest way to do this with xymon? Is a custom
test the best/only way?
thanks Betsy
