Hi all,
I know I have seen some discussion on how to do this, but my searching
the archive has come up with nothing.   Can anyone provide an example of
how I would run the Availability report from a crontab entry, so I could
produce a report automatically the first of every month for the last
month?
From xymonreport.sh:
"10 2 1 * * /usr/bin/xymoncmd --env=/etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg
xymonreports.sh monthly"
Where is xymonreports.sh?

(yes, I happen to need to implement something like this this week ....)
..should be all you need (adjust your paths as needed). If you want to be
slick, drop versions of this into cron.daily/weekly/monthly instead.

Reports will be dropped into your webroot under /periodic.


HTH,

This is what I do in my RPM (with paths):
IMHO, this should be a separate package, and/or extension, and we should try and sort out/standardise extension deployment/packaging etc.
