Nope - definitely does _not_ run - I can log in to the server in quesiton
and check the process listing - I never see hobbit-patch.sh process in the
listing.
I think I will try using xymoncmd to start the script and see if that
helps.
Thanks!

on the first line of the script and then look at the log file. And do rename the logfile to hobbit-patch.log...

Subject: [Xymon] ext script does not run on client restart
Hi
I have an ext script to check for the status of available patches on
my hosts. Once I have updated the patches, I restart the xymon-client so
that the test will go green again. Occasionally the ext script will not
run on restart. Is there a way I can debug what the xymon client is
choosing to run? How does xymon track the interval after a restart? My
clientlaunch fragment looks like:
[patches]
ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg
CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/ext/hobbit-patch.sh
LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/logs/hobbit-patch.sh
INTERVAL 6h
Client version:
ii xymon-client 4.3.17-6+deb8u1 amd64
client for the Xymon network monitor
Thanks for any advice!
Iain
