Or do a ps -ef |grep "bin/xymon" to see where executables are installed.
This command will return something like:

[rherron at xymonsvr ~]$ ps -ef |grep "bin/xymon"
xymon     2436     1  0 Sep10 ?        00:01:05
/home/xymon/server/bin/xymonlaunch
--config=/home/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg
--env=/home/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
--log=/var/log/xymon/xymonlaunch.log
--pidfile=/var/log/xymon/xymonlaunch.pid

In this case, Xymon is installed under /home/xymon/ and run by the xymon
user.  So, you would run /home/xymon/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 “drop
HOSTNAME” to drop the host.

Also, depending on file permissions, you need to run the command as the
xymon user.

Your xymon/server directory is where you put it. How would we know where
you installed your software? It's probably in one of those xymon
directories.

 I know that the command to get rid of an host in Xymon is…


        ~/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME"


But i dont seem able to do it or adapt it for my Xymon.  I get this error
message :


-bash: /home/it/server/bin/xymon: No such file or directory

I made a ls of the *home/it* directory and got

                libpng-1.5.2         libxml2-2.6.32
openssl-1.0.0d         pango-1.17.5         pcre-8.02
rrdtool-1.4.3              web          xymon-4.3.3.tar.gz
xymon-4.3.4.tar.gz

libpng-1.5.2.tar.gz  libxml2-2.6.32.tar.gz  openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz
pango-1.17.5.tar.gz  pcre-8.02.tar.gz  rrdtool_1.4.3.orig.tar.gz
xymon-4.3.3  xymon-4.3.4


So no *server* directory….


What i want to do is to remove  the history for an host so i can reload
it…. It seem to stay purple all the time even if i have restart the BBwin
service… reinstall the client… rebooted my Xymon server…


Thank you
