I know that the command to get rid of an host in Xymon is...


        ~/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME"

But i dont seem able to do it or adapt it for my Xymon.  I get this error message :

-bash: /home/it/server/bin/xymon: No such file or directory
I made a ls of the home/it directory and got
                libpng-1.5.2         libxml2-2.6.32         openssl-1.0.0d         pango-1.17.5         pcre-8.02         rrdtool-1.4.3              web          xymon-4.3.3.tar.gz  xymon-4.3.4.tar.gz
libpng-1.5.2.tar.gz  libxml2-2.6.32.tar.gz  openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz  pango-1.17.5.tar.gz  pcre-8.02.tar.gz  rrdtool_1.4.3.orig.tar.gz  xymon-4.3.3  xymon-4.3.4

So no server directory....

What i want to do is to remove  the history for an host so i can reload it.... It seem to stay purple all the time even if i have restart the BBwin service... reinstall the client... rebooted my Xymon server...

Thank you

Your xymon/server directory is where you put it. How would we know where you installed your software? It's probably in one of those xymon directories.

You don’t need xymoncmd.

The problem is probably that he’s going into HIS home directory instead of Xymon’s home directory.

If the user running the xymon server is xymon then the command would be

~xymon/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 “drop HOSTNAME”

Or do a ps -ef |grep "bin/xymon" to see where executables are installed.
This command will return something like:

[rherron at xymonsvr ~]$ ps -ef |grep "bin/xymon"
xymon     2436     1  0 Sep10 ?        00:01:05
/home/xymon/server/bin/xymonlaunch
--config=/home/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg
--env=/home/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
--log=/var/log/xymon/xymonlaunch.log
--pidfile=/var/log/xymon/xymonlaunch.pid

In this case, Xymon is installed under /home/xymon/ and run by the xymon
user.  So, you would run /home/xymon/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 “drop
HOSTNAME” to drop the host.

Also, depending on file permissions, you need to run the command as the
xymon user.
