Did you follow the instructions for configuring your Web server to server the Xymon pages?

Hi all,
I really appreciate all the help that I¹ve gotten from the mailing list!

I am trying to create a startup script for OSX 10.4.11, using launchd

I place a file: xymon.plist in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">;
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>  
        <key>KeepAlive</key>
        <true/>
        <key>Label</key>
        <string>xymon</string>
        <key>OnDemand</key>
        <false/>
        <key>Program</key>
        <string>/Users/xymon/client/runclient.sh</string>
        <key>ProgramArguments</key>
        <array> 
                <string>/Users/xymon/client/runclient.sh</string>
                <string>start</string>
        </array>
        <key>RunAtLoad</key>
        <true/>
        <key>ServiceDescription</key>
        <string>Xymon Startup</string>
        <key>UserName</key>
        <string>xymon</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Ran the command line:
Launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/xymon.plist

And in /var/log/system.log:
ay 28 13:20:15 ns1 com.apple.launchd[1] (xymon): Throttling respawn: Will
start in 10 seconds
May 28 13:20:25 ns1 xymon[91563]: Hobbit client already running, re-starting
it
May 28 13:20:25 ns1 xymon[91563]: Hobbit client stopped
May 28 13:20:25 ns1 xymon[91563]: Hobbit client for darwin started on
ns1.local

Over and over again, and the PID keeps going higher and higher.

And in /Users/xymon/client/log/hobbitclient.log:
could not lookup DNS configuration info service: (ipc/send) invalid
destination port


I suspect its because of this error that it keeps getting restarted?
Any know what this means?

Thanks!!!

The label should probably be something like "dk.hswn.xymon" to  guarantee uniqueness. (That's the convention used by all the existing  plists.)

        <key>Program</key>
        <string>/Users/xymon/client/runclient.sh</string>

I don't know for certain, but I think launchd should be replacing the  runclient.sh script, not calling on it. For instance, the script is  designed to start up the Xymon client and then exit, whereas launchd  expects the thing it started to keep running. You may have to dig into  the script to figure out what it does on a Mac and then tell launchd  to do that. (From just a quick scan, it looks like it needs to call  `hobbitlaunch` with the appropriate options for your system.)

A list of what launchd expects from the program it calls can be found  in [the man page for `launchd.plist`][1]. I don't know enough about  hobbitlaunch to tell you if it meets those requirements, but I'm  pretty sure the shell script does not based on the fact that it exits.

This might have nothing to do with the error Xymon throws, but it  would at least explain why launchd keeps restarting the script.

The magnitude of a problem does not affect its ownership.

Hi Rob,
I think your right about the respawning. Makes sense, that the runclient.sh
just stops after it calls up the other programs.

I do know that runclient.sh called by itself works. I'll try and spend more
time on a better formed plist.
