Oh, it’s xymond_alert not xymon_alert.

But I get this:
2014-09-10 11:14:01 Using default environment file /usr/lib/xymon/client/etc/xymonserver.cfg
2014-09-10 11:14:01 execvp() failed: No such file or directory
This is a problem. Xymoncmd couldn’t find xymon_alert. So it’s not in your path, you need to give the full path.
I assume xymon doesn't stop sending alerts after a timeout period, right? We chose to use the SSH service since it doesn't affect our environment. We can add a fake hostname/ip as well. I fear may have something misconfigured since alerts won't go through at all.
No. xymon sends alerts by what you define for it to send. There are no alerts by default.
