<p class="MsoNormal">Have a puzzle to solve: we have a host (Solaris 10) running our tried-and-true version of Xymon (4.3.2) which is functioning just fine except for one test: the standard “memory” test.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It has worked fine in the past (I’m pretty sure!) but at some point we noticed Xymon isn’t posting the “status” results for this test on the web page (it’s a ‘-‘).
