Disk not being reported

You could copy the df/inode fragments from the original client script and
make up a script for root to run from cron every 5 minutes.  Drop the
output into a file that the Xymon client can read and just alter the client
script to cat the file content.  You won't need to give sudo to xymon for
that.

Hi everyone,


I am having a problem with some of my disk reporting.  Postgres requires
700 permissions on its data directory, which in my case is also a mount.
That causes non-root users (xymon) to get a permission denied error when
running checks like inode and df.  I can’t change the permissions on the
directory or postgres won’t start so the only other options I can come up
with are to make xymon run as root (not a good idea), or have it use sudo
to run its disk tests somehow.  Anyone run into this before?  Any words of
wisdom on if it’s possible to use sudo to run the df/inode tests in xymon?
