That would indicate a xymon process is still running!!
The process id is 3226.

I have been adding hosts to a custom file bb-zenor for monitoring.
I noticed that when checking my ghost list it was displaying the following error
Failed to retrieve ghostlist from server
I then did some research and read that restarting xymon would help but when i try to restart it i get the following
2012-12-19 11:17:13 Loading hostnames
2012-12-19 11:17:13 Loading saved state
2012-12-19 11:17:13 Setting up network listener on 0.0.0.0:1984
2012-12-19 11:17:13 Cannot bind to listen socket (Address already in use)
2012-12-19 11:17:13 Task xymond terminated, status 1
Also for the machines monitored if i try to click onto one of the links i get the following error.
Cannot load host configuration
I checked and we are not using bb-proxy or any proxy's at all.
Any ideas on why this would be happening
Run the following as root/via sudo to display which application/process is holding the port open:
lsof -n -P -i | grep 1984
