Thank you both,

Have great day,

You'll want to set the lifetime so that it spans several reporting 
intervals.  The default interval is 5 minutes, with a lifetime of 30 
minutes, so that multiple reports can be missed before it shows purple 
dots.  With a 60 minute interval, you should set the lifetime to at 
least 120: status+120

    Xymon expects results every 5-10 minutes or the test will turn
    purple to indicate no report has been received.  If you really
    want it to run every 60 minutes you need to put something to
    indicate that in the test.  In the text sent back to the server
    you have to put something like status+60m or something like that. 
    Look in the xymon man pages for the exact syntax.

Subject: [Xymon] Xymon server report purple because custom
    client script
do not report often enough

Hey,

I have made a script which count how many times a string appears
    in a
log file. Nothing special. And it works fine.

Doing the testing of this script I made the interval to 1m, just
    so I
did not have to wait to long to test changes.

Now that I finish with the script I want the interval, configured in
clientlaunch.cfg, to run every 60m, so I have changed it in
clientlaunch.cfg.

But that result in the xymon server is complaining about stop
    reporting
from the client on this custom check.

I have tried to delete the test status from the server, but with
    no luck.

Is there something I have misunderstood and is there a way to
    fix it?

Clientlaunch.cfg
[razor-count]
      ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
      CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/razor-report-count.sh
      LOGFILE /var/log/hobbit/razor-report-count.log
      INTERVAL 60m


Thanks,

Kim.
