[Xymon] EXT :Re: Plagued by purple

[Mills, David (IS)]

Thanks, James. That did solve the problem.

Just so I know, what script did you modify so that the client does not start up automatically on boot, and also, what file(s?) would I check to confirm that the client collection was not running if I should run across this again on a different host?

Thanks again...

I was one of the original installers of this installation. In this case, we modified scripts and ran the client separately from $XYMONHOME/client

Start the client by changing to the $XYMONHOME/client directory and running, runclient.sh start

That should resolve your issue.

It looks like the green tests are all standard Xymon tests and the purple ones might be external scripts in client/ext/ in the Xymon (or Hobbit) home directory.
Check the client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg on any of the purple-plagued clients and see if any of the purple tests are mentioned.

Thanks, Josh, but can you point out where I can check to see which of those options is my likely culprit?

Also, don't quite follow your comment about your "raid script". What raid script?

Sorry!
