I ran the following command and it found a few mrtg files that were owned by root user instead of xymon user, but everything else is owned by xymon user.
$ find /home/xymon/data/ -user root

Hi Kris,
It might be an idea to check for files owned by root under the data directory and change them to xymon.

Subject: Re: [Xymon] ran Trimhistory and it broke something
I'm still getting xymond_history crash notifications exactly every 4 hours. I've looked in /var/log/xymon/ but there's doesn't seem to be any logs that give a clue as to what's happening.
Here's the notification I'm getting exactly every 4 hours.
*xymond_history purple [672384] *
*red - Program crashed Fatal signal caught!*

I re-ran my command with the 'sudo -u xymon' addition and it seemed to work.
$ cd /home/xymon/server/bin/
$ sudo -u xymon ./trimhistory --drop --dropsvcs --droplogs --cutoff=`date +%s --date="1 Jan 2019"` --progress

Per the instructions found at https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/manpages/man8/trimhistory.8.html I ran the following command to trim my very old log history and ever since then I'm getting the following crash alert.? Also when reviewing history via the webpage I get results but the time stamps are wonky.? I suspect it's because of the program crashing.
Anyone know how to fix?
Trimhistory command I used:
$ ./trimhistory --drop --dropsvcs --droplogs --cutoff=`date +%s --date="1 Jan 2019"` --progress
Alert I'm receiving:
xymond_history purple [549922]
red - Program crashed
Fatal signal caught!
