<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a few tasks that I have designed to run on the Xymon server. I have created files in the tasks.d/ subdirectory based on the configs in the tasks.cfg file but they don’t seem to be running.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One example entry from a file in tasks.d is:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"># "replicate_ldap" runs the in-house LDAP replication checks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">[ldap_replication]<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> ENVFILE /opt/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> CMD /opt/xymon/server/ext/ldap_check_replication<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/ldap_replication.log<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> INTERVAL 5m<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s a simple configuration and the files exist but the log file has not been updated in weeks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I cannot find any log information about the tasks.cfg file or its inclusions, it doesn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere in the Xymon log files, can someone give me a clue as to how I can debug this?<o:p></o:p></p>
