Easy upgrade from 4.3.7 > 4.3.10 ?
list Tom S
What's a quick of way upgrading without overwriting my current configs? Is there a specific upgrade option during/after compiling? I would like to keep ssl support, etc. tia

The Xymon install process won't overwrite files that you have changed. So the normal ./configure, make, make install, restart will work. You should probably make a backup of your etc directory just in case, though. Thanks, Larry Barber

Thanks Larry, ./configure recognized the current install path of xymon. also it found SSL in the non-standard folder which was a pain the last upgrade. Also had to fix chown root ~xymon/server/bin/xymonping chmod u+s ~xymon/server/bin/xymonping due to the error "'xymonping -Ae' failed - program not suid root?" error. I remember the same issue occurred last upgrade. other than that the upgrade went fine. tom.

It does overwrite the init.d script. That caused me issues.
