Hello, 2 quick questions: 1.) I was forced to run Xymon on a non-standard port. I set XYMONSERVERNAME in xymonserver.cfg to HOST:PORT, but the URLs pointing to XYmon are not showing the port, and as such they don't work. Is there a way to fix this? 2.) Any way to adjust the template for emails? Some of my team members have issues understanding what's broken... ( * I * understand just fine, but it looks like I'm going to have to, ahem, "simplify" it a bit if you catch my drift...) Thank you!

It may be easiest to notify with a SCRIPT invocation and build your own message from the environment variables. You'll definitely get more flexibility long-term... Regards, -jc

Change XYMONSERVERWWWNAME instead.

I use the Perl script html_mail.pl on http://xymonton.org/alerts instead of the standard email, which allows me to customise the emails. HTH Malcolm -- BBWin Development - The Windows client for Big Brother and Xymon http://bbwin.sourceforge.net http://xymon.sourceforge.net
