[Xymon] File Modification Time problem

[Carl Inglis]

Hi,

I'm running Xymon 4.3.17 under Slackware Linux 32bit.

I have a couple of files on a Windows box which are being checked for modification time. (They act as heartbeat files for an in-house developed process)

They are reporting:

[[file 1]]
File was modified 4294963721 seconds ago - should be <3600

[[file 2]]
File was modified 4294963853 seconds ago - should be <1800

As far as I can tell the numbers being given are the maximum value of an unsigned 4 byte integer less the actual value of the modified time difference.

The file information in the client data is:

[file:file 1]
type:0x00020 (file)
mode:777 (not implemented)
linkcount:1
owner:0 (not implemented)
group:0 (not implemented)
size:22
atime:1396262142 (2014/03/31-10:35:42)
ctime:1389871880 (2014/01/16-11:31:20)
mtime:1396262142 (2014/03/31-10:35:42)

[file:file 2]
type:0x00020 (file)
mode:777 (not implemented)
linkcount:1
owner:0 (not implemented)
group:0 (not implemented)
size:21
atime:1396262010 (2014/03/31-10:33:30)
ctime:1392825988 (2014/02/19-16:06:28)
mtime:1396262010 (2014/03/31-10:33:30)

The date and time on both the Windows PC and the Xymon server have correctly been adjusted for DST (automagically). However DST is implicated since the problem started happening at ~02:02 on Sunday morning when the UK switched to British Summer Time.

I've restarted the Xymon processes, and restarted the BBWin process, to no effect.

My search through lists.xymon.com hasn't returned anything that appears relevant, although obviously I may have missed something.

Any pointers as to how I can continue to debug this, or thoughts on how to fix it, would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Carl
