[Xymon] Xymond and xymonnet quirks

[Poppy, Ben]

Any progress on this issue by chance? Or is there any way to raise the time limit that it alerts at? I did try putting in the following one at a time in the xymonnet CMD line:

--no-ares
--timeout=500
--timelimit=500
--ping-tasks=10

None of them seemed to have had any effect (--timelimit said it wasn't a valid option as well, but that's what is listed in the MAN page)..

I'm ok with the tests taking a while, we don't seem to have an issue. Just want that yellow alert to get off the nongreen page, so our OPs staff stops bugging me about it :)

Thanks

Think I got it now. Would You mind trying out this patch for me ? To
apply:

  cd xymon-4.3.4
  patch -p0 < /tmp/dns-timeout.patch
  make
  cp -p ~xymon/server/bin/xymonnet ~xymon/server/bin/xymonnet.orig
  cp xymonnet/xymonnet ~xymon/server/bin/

This should enforce the normal timeout-setting for DNS tests also.

Henrik
