Feature request/suggestions welcome - tracking ACK's

Not everybody has webmin.  I know I don't.

Attached is a quick and dirty attempt at a temporary solution.  It can be
kicked off from tasks.cfg:

[xymon_ack.sh]
ENVFILE /home/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
NEEDS xymond
CMD /home/xymon/server/ext/xymon_ack.sh
LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymon_ack.log
INTERVAL 1m


It uses tclsh to convert the epoch time to something more readable.  That
could use a bit more work...  :)   The ack messages are added to the hosts
notes file so you can click through the name to get to it.  If you already
use the notes files for something else, like actual system notes, just put
the acks somewhere else and link to it from the notes file.

What about using webmin and creating custom commands to grep the log?

You could use the "notes" feature of xymon and create a link to the log
file for anyone on a  web browser to view without giving them access to the
server.

Yes, true, but it's not accessible without shell access to the server.
The NOC guys have no way to see whether a yellow was previously ACK'ed and
if so what was done about it.
