Here it is:
193.63.56.174 paris.bbk.ac.uk # bbd http://paris.bbk.ac.uk/
193.63.56.118 bs313.bbk.ac.uk # bbd
193.63.56.169 thor.bbk.ac.uk # bbd
193.63.56.116 bs243.bbk.ac.uk # bbd
paris is the xymon server
bs313 and bs243 are windows XP clients and thor is a fedora box.
paris comes up since it was setup automatically during the installation
bs243 also comes up but I don't get any tests. This is most likely
because of my configuration which I am still learning about.
The rest of them they don't even come up on the xymon page and I just
don't see why.
Thanks a lot
Yanni

Are these hosts not even getting a conn test?

Hello
I have defined 4 clients inside "hosts.cfg" but only one of them shows up
in xymon. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Many thanks

I think ssh is "draining" the input stream, which in this case means the
pipeline coming into the while loop.? Try redirecting the ssh input stream
from /dev/null:
????? /usr/bin/ssh bwadmin@${MACHINE} "hostname"< /dev/null
I tested that with this command line:
???? ls | while read a; do ssh 192.168.1.4 hostname< /dev/null ; done
and got back the remote host name once for each file in the local directory.
Yes - that fixed everything. Thank you so much for the replying.
