I need to configure my analysis.cfg file to check if a specific process on a specific host is NOT running during a specific time. That is, if the process IS running during that time I want it to flag red.  I don't care if it's running any other time of the day. I've reviewed the man pages and tried a few different settings with no success.  I'm hoping someone could send me a functioning sample config.

Here's what I've got in analysis.cfg

*HOST=CamViewer  EXTIME=*:2200:2400**
**    PROC    CamSoftware*

In the analysis.cfg you can specify a limit for max processes. If you set it to 0 xymon will alert when its running.

In analysis.cfg:

HOST=CamViewer TIME=*:2200:2400
PROC CamSoftware 0 0

This will change proc’s color to red if a process named CamSoftware is running between 22:00 and 24:00 on any given day.
