AIX df command problem

[Steve Holmes]

I am having a problem similar to one recently posted, but this is on an AIX
host and is caused (I think) by a problem in the way xymon does df on AIX.
The xymon version is 4.2.3 and the AIX OS version is 3.5 (I think, I'm a
Solaris Admin). Anyway, I can find no way to force the df on AIX to use
POSIX formatting AND to report only local file systems. Even if I could, I
don't think I can override what xymon uses for df since the comments in the
hobbitclient.cfg file say that the envariable definition is only there for
compatibility and it is not used.

The problem is that an NFS mount file system line in the df output is being
parsed wrong and the number in the usage column is being used for the
percent used (Available) so that is a huge number. Not only that, again
similar to the previous problem, the file system name is being picked up as
the contents of the last 3 fields in the output line, i.e. it is not
/mnt/tsmupdates (which is what it should be) but "3020485 50% /tsm/updates",
which, of course, prevents me from effectively ignoring that file system.
I've tried using

DISK %.*/mnt/.* IGNORE

and that doesn't work.

Does anyone have any suggestions? We have a big red page where we shouldn't
have.

Thanks,
Steve
