Hi,

I've looked around for a way to use sudo fetching logfiles/message-logs etc. with Xymon without changing groups and rights on various files/dirs, but the wiki-document which describes it (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Other_Docs/HOWTO) seems to be outdated - so my question is how to do it with Xymon 4.3.0+?

Hi !

Me for myself, started my first try in the last 10 days
for testing sudo-permission exactly with this describtion,
and it just works !

.. so, it's old but ok :-)
.. of course depending from your OS or distribution ...

cheers,

Yeah, I was too impatient - I found the right hobbitclient.sh to edit, and it seems to work ;)
