xymonnet alarm (with patch)

Hello, 

I am unsure of how to apply patches. Is this something that would changes the structure of the server? I would need to approve this with my superior if so.

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?

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,
