Custom Message on Server Status Page

[Manchester Web Hosting]

So stuck getting to display a custome message on the server status page depending on the type of product OR server type/module being used

I.e: if its a linux product then show X if its a server product show Y

Thought this would have been pretty straight forward in hard coding it to the page without using any quiries (not good at that) and according to: https://whmcs.community/topic/14277-server-status-questions/?do=findComment&comment=78449 that should work but doesnt :(

so far tried a good few combinations:

{if (in_array($gid, [1,2,3]))}
<div>
MY CUSTOM MESSAGE 
</div>
{/if}

{if $productinfo.pid|in_array:[1,2,3]}
good
{/if}

{if $services.product eq 'web hosting'}
good
{/if}

{if $server.name == "Linux"}
<img src=win.gif> Windows Enterprise Server 2003
{elseif $servers == "Windows"}
<img src=tux.gif> Linux Red Hat Enterprise 4.4
{/if}

{if $servers eq 'Linux'}
good
{/if}

Anyone able to offer help here? simply want to get a custom message to display based on the product/server the customer is on...
