[Xymon] Dropping an entire Host from Xymon

[Robert Herron]

Or do a ps -ef |grep "bin/xymon" to see where executables are installed.
This command will return something like:

[rherron at xymonsvr ~]$ ps -ef |grep "bin/xymon"
xymon     2436     1  0 Sep10 ?        00:01:05
/home/xymon/server/bin/xymonlaunch
--config=/home/xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg
--env=/home/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
--log=/var/log/xymon/xymonlaunch.log
--pidfile=/var/log/xymon/xymonlaunch.pid

In this case, Xymon is installed under /home/xymon/ and run by the xymon
user.  So, you would run /home/xymon/server/bin/xymon 127.0.0.1 “drop
HOSTNAME” to drop the host.

Also, depending on file permissions, you need to run the command as the
xymon user.
