[Xymon] manually running custom script not changing the status

[Root, Paul T]

Well, if it runs outside of xymon, and that's how we do most of our custom scripts, then you need to make sure your environment is correct. So that the script knows the pertinent xymon information.

Did you possibly run the script as yourself vs root, and so it couldn't read the xymonclient.cfg file or something?

Without details and/or output of your hand running of the script, we can only guess. My guess is that you either didn't have path to the xymon command or you didn't have the server ip right in that command.

ohh, forgot to mention. The script is set on client side so not related to tasks.cfg

If you are running the script from tasks.cfg. You probably want to use xymoncmd to run the script, so you'll get the proper environment.

I have a script which runs after 24 hrs interval, if we get an alert we work on it and after resolving the issue I tried to run that custom script manually but it didnt change the status into green.
I had to wait until its next run, i.e. after 24 hrs.
How can I run the custom script before its next run time which will change the xymon status if the issue is resolved?
