Three questions:

 

 

1. I don't believe /usr/bin/monitors/post is a built-in command or script. Can you elaborate on its contents?

 

 

2. If you run /usr/bin/monitors/post "http://$node_ip:$2/cgi-bin/brb.exe" < /usr/bin/monitors/pegs_xmlgw.txt without the grep, does it return a lot of data?

 

 

3. Is the content of xmlgw.txt static? If so, perhaps you could still apply this monitor through the built-in HTTP monitor (via TMOS) and perhaps get better performance (or at least better memory/cpu utilization).
