<div>Good. So if you tried PROC on "two" you should get something. Something is deeply wrong on the other two hosts. And Xymon likes to silently ignore errors.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My **guess** is that something crummy has happened to the failing clients. Since there is not much to them they should be easy enough to check out. Might be a good education.<br> </div>
<div>Did you install from RPM, or compile your own copy of the client? Are you able to reinstall the client piece from a known working source? Are you using the "client update" piece where the client can fetch a tarball from the server and install it on its own?</div>

<div>Then what was this all about? I guess I read it wrong.</div>
<div>

<div><i>"However on an bbc 1.9i btf (better then free) client it is pushing PROCs to the server:<br><br>#cat ~bbuser/bbc1.9i-btf/etc/bbwarnsetup.cfg:<br>...<br>PROCS="bbrun" # (YELLOW) WARN IF NOT RUNNING<br>

<div>What you might want to do is track down the "raw data" being sent by these hosts to see if they contain a PROC secion. I think you can get to it on each host through the <a href="http://%3cxymon-server%3e/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=%3Cclient" target="_blank">http://<xymon-server>/hobbit-cgi/bb-hostsvc.sh?CLIENT=<client</a>> link. On Solaris you would look for a [ps] header, then a list of processes. This will show you that the data is getting pumped over. (For Linux, etc. there might be something different).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And, if your config fragment is correct, you would not expect any PROC checks for one or two, just for three, since you only defined them for three and there are no PROC checks in the DEFAULT section.</div></blockquote>
