How do I define a specific hosts test to always report green?  Is it defined in hosts.cfg?  The particular test is an external client script that I could edit to force it always green, but I'd like to control it from the server instead.  

I can see two ways to do this (apart from "hack the code"):

1. use "delayred=STATUSCOLUMN:DELAY" with a really big delay

2. create a "status" channel consumer that catches the status message from the host and then sets the colour with a xymon "modify" message

The latter option might not work, because I suspect that "modify" can only make a colour appear worse, not better. I true, the status message could be extracted and re-injected in entirety, with the colour changed to green.
