<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Since this report is parsed on
the server (we're using "centralized" configuration), I don't think
the client version makes a difference. The server is 4.3.3. I'm not sure what
the client is, I didn't install it and there is not an obvious way of determining
what version it is. That it dates from the "Hobbit" days is all I can
tell by looking at it. <br>
<br>
I could use the perl scriptlet, but I'm monitoring a couple hundred of these
boxes, I would rather fix it in once in a centralized location. Also, shouldn't
this scriptlet go in the "top" section?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Larry Barber<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>SuSE systems report uptime as being up "1 day"
rather than "1 days" as other Linuxes do. This seems to cause Xymon
to skip the trends graphing during the period from 24 to 48 hours after a
machine has been rebooted. No big deal, but one of my administrators is rather
anally retentive about that sort of thing, <br>
<br>
Sample from the top of "top" on a SuSE box:<o:p></o:p></p>
