Hi,

Is it possible to emulate the badtest-option for non-network-tests, like cpu/memory? For instance badcpu:2:2:3? Or is there another way to achieve this?

Regards,

Carl Melgaard

Right now the badXYZ stuff is handled by the Xymon network test tool,
so the answer to your question is "no".

This made sense back in the bbgen days when these tools were add-ons to a
Big Brother server. These days I would do it differently, and move all of
that into the Xymon server - this would be much more effective, and it 
would work for all kinds of tests. So it is one of the things "to do" after
we get 4.3.0 out of the door.
