Unconfigured Clients

#!/bin/bash
 
# What: The Xymon ghost report is a list of systems that delivered reports
#       without being configured in the hosts.cfg file.  This script reads
#       the ghost list and generates a hosts.cfg file to contain them, so
#       that the various reports are readable/actionable almost immediately.
#       Email is also sent to the Xymon admin so that the ghost list may
#       be dispersed among the other hosts.cfg files as appropriate.
