I'm still getting xymond_history crash notifications exactly every 4
hours. I've looked in /var/log/xymon/ but there's doesn't seem to
be any logs that give a clue as to what's happening.<br />
<br />
Here's the notification I'm getting exactly every 4 hours.<br />

I re-ran my command with the 'sudo -u xymon' addition and it
seemed to work. <br />
<br />
$ cd /home/xymon/server/bin/<br />
$ sudo -u xymon ./trimhistory --drop --dropsvcs --droplogs

I ran the following command to trim my very old log history and
ever since then I'm getting the following crash alert. Also
when reviewing history via the webpage I get results but the
time stamps are wonky. I suspect it's because of the program
crashing.<br />
Anyone know how to fix?<br />
<br />
Trimhistory command I used:<br />
$ ./trimhistory --drop --dropsvcs --droplogs --cutoff=`date +%s
--date="1 Jan 2019"` --progress<br />
