Running server-side custom test more often than every 5 minutes

Changed to

        INTERVAL 60

(i.e. 60 seconds) and it is working. Not sure why the “1m” didn’t. I
see that syntax elsewhere in tasks.cfg.

I have the a server side test that my manager wants to run once a minute.
I set it up in (a file included by) tasks.cfg, like this:

[VHRPING]
        ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
        NEEDS xymond
        CMD /usr/local/xymon/server/ext/bbvhr_rrd.sh
        LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/vhrping.log
        INTERVAL 5m

I changed this so the last line reads

        INTERVAL 1m

but it still seems to be running only every 5 minutes.


Is there anything else I need to change in order to run this test once a
minute?

(Xymon version 4.3.10)

Hmm.

1m *should* be a valid syntax since, as you'd indicated, it's used
elsewhere. The appropriate parts are in xymonlaunch.c as well, even in
4.3.10.

You mentioned it was an include file; I seem to recall occasional issues
back then where include'd files didn't always get walked for changes, but
my testing shows this to be working.

Do you know about how long xymonlaunch was running it in 5m intervals
after having changed it to 1m?
