Hmm, Ok I've now updated the fping to fping 3.2 the latest I could find ...
But anyhow should this be a separate binary and if there are any other binarys fping4 and or fping6 required it should say so wouldn't it.
Because fping is not built in the xymon distribution or ?
I found this in the hostdata.log:
2012-08-13 12:35:33 Could not get shm of size 5242880: No such file or directory
2012-08-13 12:35:33 Channel not available

2012-08-13 12:45:44 Peer not up, flushing message queue

NO that is not the problem I am root alright ...
root at hpivm006:/opt/xymon/server/etc # ls -l /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6
/opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 not found
/opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 not found
One problem is: there are no fping4 and/or fping6 ...
No fping4 or fping6 in the directory structure:
root at hpivm006:/opt/xymon/source/xymon-4.3.10 # find . -name "*fping*"
./build/fping.sh
Only the config scricpt ...
I don't know what fping4 and fping6 are for ?
I have been using a fping that has worked for many years ... even when we had a bb installation ...
Also configured in the xymonserver.cfg:FPING="/usr/local/bin/fping" to use fping
Thanks anyway for your effort

Subject: [Xymon] Problem with xymon 4.3.10
Hi there !
I recently tried to upgrade from xymon 4.3.7 to 4.3.10 ..
I'm working on HP-UX B.11.31 ia64
The building and compiling is OK no errors.
But when I do a gmake install to move everything into place then I get
some errors:
chown root /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 ||
echo "Could not make fping4/fping6 owned by root, continuing"
/opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4: No such file or directory
/opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6: No such file or directory
Could not make fping4/fping6 owned by root, continuing
chmod 4755 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4 /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6 ||
echo "Could not make fping4/fping6 suid-root, continuing"
chmod: can't access /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping4
chmod: can't access /opt/xymon/server/bin/fping6
Could not make fping4/fping6 suid-root, continuing
What is fping4/fping6 ??? I already use fping and tell the
configure.server script this when I get the question.
Then when I start the new server no updates are made and after a while
all columns go purple. !!!
I can see in the following logfiles:
alert.log,clientdata.log, history.log, hostdata.log, rrd-data.log, rrd-
status.log

The xymon server seems to be malfunctioning
Any Tips where I should start to look ????
