[Xymon] devmon goes purple

[Dirk Kastens]

Hi Jeremy,

thanks for your reply. So I'm not alone ;-)
The following packages have been updated:

Jun 17 05:23:34 Updated: kernel-firmware-2.6.32-642.el6.noarch
Jun 17 05:23:36 Updated: ntpdate-4.2.6p5-10.el6.1.x86_64
Jun 17 05:23:37 Updated: ntp-4.2.6p5-10.el6.1.x86_64
Jun 17 05:23:37 Updated: ntp-perl-4.2.6p5-10.el6.1.x86_64
Jun 17 05:23:52 Installed: kernel-2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64
Jun 17 05:23:55 Updated: kernel-headers-2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64

On Jun 17 at 06:31 devmon stops for the first time and after that every 
one or two days. Even after rebooting the machine. Meanwhile I created a 
script in cron.hourly that restarts devmon every hour. But I wonder why 
this happened immediately after the update.
