[Xymon] APT Check from Hobbit-Plugins Package - Purple Status

[Joseph De Nicolo]

Oh I understand what you mean now, that I have to edit the apt script
itself. I edited the file but I'm still having issues. Here's what I did:

I added this line to /home/xymon/client/ext/apt:  use lib "/etc/perl";

I also changed this line: my $ext_apt_config = "/etc/xymon";  to this -> my
$ext_apt_config = "/home/xymon/client/etc";  because /etc/xymon doesn't
even exist.

Unfortunatly it did not fix the problem and the tests are still purple. I
even executed the script manually but the server still did not receive the
update. Its weird that it worked the first time i manually executed the apt
script but now it wont work at all on all clients except 1.

One of my clients is running the apt script automatically just like it
should, but my other 3 production clients are showing purple status still
and not sending the test results to the server. I don't understand how that
can be when I did the same steps on copying the files on all the machines.
The 1 client that is working has unmodified files(the changes mentioned
above were not applied). Its working so I don't want to touch it.
