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.

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,

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.

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