I have a question about the timeout for Xymonnet in tasks.cfg.  The instructions say that the command line for changing the timeout is "-timeout=N".  Can "N" be a decimal?  We would like to set the timeout to be less than 1 second.  I would like to put in something like "-Timeout=.3".  Will that work?

You can always try.  I recommend including a leading zero (e.g. 0.3 instead
of .3).

Alas no. The code assumes an integer.
