[Xymon] how to merge allevent files ?

[Marco Avvisano]

Thanks Andrey for your answer,
but my situation is this:
i have 2 servers, each one monitors different things, and i have to 
migrate to a new
server that will monitor all .
So my question is, how to merge the two files ./hist/allevents? .

Probabily i only need to join and sort them using the column starttime
but i I'm not sure that this is enough
