[Xymon] trimhistory error in terabithia RPM 4.3.27-1

[SebA]

Quite right, this works:
-bash-3.2$ /usr/libexec/xymon/xymoncmd /usr/libexec/xymon/trimhistory
--cutoff=`date +%s --date="1 Aug 2011"` --drop --dropsvcs --droplogs
--progress=10
Thanks jc!

Kind regards, 

Sebastian

"/usr/libexec/xymon/trimhistory" may be a binary file.  See it anyway?

Hi,


I believe trimhistory needs to run within the xymon environment to know
where to find things.

Can you try prefixing it with 'xymoncmd'?
