Oh I understand what you mean now, that I have to edit the apt script itself. I edited the file but I'm still having issues. Here's what I did:<br><br>I added this line to /home/xymon/client/ext/apt: use lib "/etc/perl";<br>
<br>I also changed this line: my $ext_apt_config = "/etc/xymon"; to this -> my $ext_apt_config = "/home/xymon/client/etc"; because /etc/xymon doesn't even exist.<br><br>Unfortunatly it did not fix the problem and the tests are still purple. I even executed the script manually but the server still did not receive the update. Its weird that it worked the first time i manually executed the apt script but now it wont work at all on all clients except 1.<br>
<br>One of my clients is running the apt script automatically just like it should, but my other 3 production clients are showing purple status still and not sending the test results to the server. I don't understand how that can be when I did the same steps on copying the files on all the machines. The 1 client that is working has unmodified files(the changes mentioned above were not applied). Its working so I don't want to touch it.<br>

<div style="direction:ltr;font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">I'm surprised it worked initially. I had to add the following above the other use statements:<br>

use lib "/usr/local/xymon/perl5";<br>

which is where I copied the Hobbit.pm file. Unless /etc/perl is part of your Perl @INC path, it won't find it. I think I may even have tweaked everything that said hobbit/bb to say xymon.<br>

<b>Subject:</b> [Xymon] APT Check from Hobbit-Plugins Package - Purple Status<br>
</font><br>
</div>

<div></div>
<div>Xymon Users & Admins,<br>
<br>
I recently installed an apt check on my clients that I received from this hobbit-plugins package:<br>
<a href="https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hobbit-plugins" target="_blank">https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hobbit-plugins</a><br>
<br>
Steps for Installation:<br>
1. Copy over client-ext/apt script to client/ext/apt<br>
2. Gave xymon user rights to execute the apt script<br>
3. Copy over perl/Hobbit.pm to /etc/perl/Hobbit.pm<br clear="all">
4. Copy and pasted the lines found in clientlaunch.d/apt.cfg to the end of client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg and modified the paths(ENVFILE & LOGFILE) to fit my client's environment
<br>
<br>
The problem:<br>
I set this up last week on friday jan 11th. At that time I ran the client/ext/apt script as xymon user and it gave the report as expected. However, after the weekend the last report was the same one on the 11th so I am receiving a purple status for inactivity
of the report. The clients are not automatically sending the apt check report to the server. Anything I missed in the installation or something I have to do server side?<br>
<br>
Any response appreciated<br>
Thanks,<br>
