Sorry for the confusion. My fingers auto-corrected as they typed. I<br>
don't understand why you are making any changes to /etc/hosts<br>
... especially after seeing your hosts.cfg If you have embedded short<br>
hostnames and ip addresses in hosts.cfg, there is no need to dual-enter<br>
the same information in /etc/hosts<br>
<br>
Does your xymon behave any better if your hosts.cfg looks like:<br>
> # We are not going to use FQDNs or DNS. Use testip instead.<br>

Is there anything in ~/data/hist/BOOMIAPP01.conn ?<br>
<br>
If you insert --debug on the xymonnet line in tasks.cfg, does anything<br>
interesting appear in the log file (named in that section)?<br>
<br>

Do things because you should, not just because you can.<br>
