xymond_capture - catch selected messages from a xymond channel
xymond_channel --channel=status xymond_capture [options]
xymond_capture is a worker module for xymond, and as such it is normally run via
the xymond_channel(8) program. It receives messages from xymond via
stdin and filters them to select messages based on the hostname, testname or
color of the status. By default the resulting messages are printed on stdout,
but they can also be fed into a command for further processing.
xymond_capture supports the status, data,
client and hostdata channels.

sending them to the --batch-command COMMAND.
