Quite right, this works:
-bash-3.2$ /usr/libexec/xymon/xymoncmd /usr/libexec/xymon/trimhistory
--cutoff=`date +%s --date="1 Aug 2011"` --drop --dropsvcs --droplogs
--progress=10
Thanks jc!
Kind regards,
Sebastian

"/usr/libexec/xymon/trimhistory" may be a binary file. See it anyway?

Hi,
I believe trimhistory needs to run within the xymon environment to know
where to find things.
Can you try prefixing it with 'xymoncmd'?
