Should I replace this:

CMD xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse --timelimit=75 --dns-timeout=5

With this

CMD xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse --dns-timeout=5 --timelimit=75


Or should I add an additional line to what you put in?

You should change your existing line to:

CMD env TASKSLEEP=75 xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse --dns-timeout=5

That should immediately take effect for you. You can leave the 
"--timelimit=75" at the end, but you'll get a warning to the error log 
on each run.

Hello,

I added what you recommended, but the alarm still exists. Here is the
tasks.cfg section:
[xymonnet]
                ENVFILE /usr/lib/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
                NEEDS xymond
                CMD xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse
--dns-timeout=5 --timelimit=75
                LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymonnet.log
                INTERVAL 1m

The xymonnet alarm now says under Error output:
Unknown option –timelimit=75 – try –help

Any suggestions?

Foster

Hi Foster,

Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is a bug in how that option is
processed. As a workaround, you can lie to xymonnet about what
interval it's been told to run (from xymonlaunch) at with:

CMD env TASKSLEEP=75 xymonnet --report --ping --checkresponse

--dns-timeout=5

This should result in what you want.

The following patch should fix it for you, and this will be in the
next version.


HTH,
