Problem with "xymon download filename" in 4.3.5 🔗 link

Hello,

I try to get a configuration for an external with the download option.

The File is located in Servers Download folder.

First download works fine. But when I edit the File and change something I get the old Version on download.
Looks like a cached File.

When I restart Xymon services on the Server I'll get the correct file.

Is it a Bug or a Feature or is there any Configswitch to disable the cache?

Greetings

Ralf

Correct, xymond caches the file contents. It will not automatically notice
if you update a file that has been cached.

Use the "flush filecache" command to clear the cache. Like

    xymon 127.0.0.1 "flush filecache"

Hello Henrik,

At the first Moment it worked.
For testing at the Moment I get the File every Minute. So this Morning I saw a new Problem.

It seems, that "flush filecache" does not release the Filehandle.
After a while Xymon gives up because there are too many open Files.

With 'lsof' I see hundreds of Entries for my File..

Now I get the File with "config filename" from etc and it looks good. But I think that is not the Way you planned it ;)

Greetings

Ralf

Certainly not, the "download" command fails to close the filehandle. 
This patch should fix it.
