Hobbit alerts with qmail failing 🔗 link

Hi All

Anyone running qmail on hobbit server? I am not receiving alerts but
web page get updated fine. Here are the related info on my setup

MAIL="sendmail -f user-c208d0fd1334@xymon.invalid"

HOST=%jump(.*)|rusty(.*)
        MAIL user-62c2e1cb12b4@xymon.invalid

1.2.0.195    rusty.host.com # ssh

echo this is a test email | sendmail -f user-c208d0fd1334@xymon.invalid (works).
/var/log/qmail/current shows the email too.

The following command does not generate an email

bb 127.0.0.1 "status rusty.home.com.conn red `date` this is a test alert"

I see the web page got updated with red alert. But
/var/log/qmail/current does not show any email generated either.

Is the "MAIL" variable defined wrong then?

I went ahead and unlink /usr/lib/sendmail from qmail's sendmail and
linked it back to the sendmail's original binary. Then redefined MAIL
to "mailx -r user-c208d0fd1334@xymon.invalid -s" to restore the original behavior and at
the same time restricted qmail's smtpd with tcpserver.

I know some people suggest to use postfix for all, but that would be
off topic for this particular goal.

Henrik,

I just did a clean install of the beta version (4.2-beta-20060605), and I noticed a few mistakes in the runclient.sh script.

The "status" part misses a few $MACHINEDOTS in the pid lines. This results in "Hobbit is not running" messages.


============== Corrected lines: ============

   "status")
         if test -s $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/clientlaunch.$MACHINEDOTS.pid
         then
                 kill -0 `cat $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/clientlaunch.$MACHINEDOTS.pid`
                 if test $? -eq 0
                 thenCHINEDOTS
                         echo "Hobbit client (clientlaunch) running with PID `cat $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/clientlaunch.$MACHINEDOTS.pid`"
                 else
                         echo "Hobbit client not running, removing stale PID file"
                         rm -f $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/logs/clientlaunch.$MACHINEDOTS.pid
                 fi
         else
                 echo "Hobbit client (clientlaunch) does not appear to be running"
         fi
         ;;
