Is it possible to send data directly to the xymon server from another

scripts
send data directly?
It would probably be easier to use 'external' scripts on the server to
go and grab the data via ssh. That way, you're only maintaining one
set of scripts
Yep, done it that way too. Put ssh keys out on all the clients, then pipe
the script over ssh. Catch the output and deliver to xymon. You'll want a
non-expiring password on the clients. If it expires, ssh may not get in,
even with keys.
