Hello All,

I am trying to apply the following patch via the method below and I appear
to be getting an error (patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch
input.). I have not applied patches before so please excuse my lack of
experience. My server is currently running Xymon version 4.3.19.


********************************************************************************************

Generally, quick-fix patches such as this one are applied like this:

cd xymon-4.3.4
patch -p0 </tmp/infocolumn-crash.diff
make clean
make
sudo make install

Since only the svcstatus.cgi binary is changed by the current patch,
copying that file over to ~xymon/server/bin/ is fine instead of running
"make install".


Regards,
Henrik

I am trying to fix the memory display explained in the following article
that also supplies the patch -

Please assist and explain the steps needed to apply patches and/or if a
file can simply be edited/replaced for this specific task.

Thanks,

Michael
