[Xymon] Disk not being reported

[Scot Kreienkamp]

Hi everyone,

I am having a problem with some of my disk reporting.  Postgres requires 700 permissions on its data directory, which in my case is also a mount.  That causes non-root users (xymon) to get a permission denied error when running checks like inode and df.  I can't change the permissions on the directory or postgres won't start so the only other options I can come up with are to make xymon run as root (not a good idea), or have it use sudo to run its disk tests somehow.  Anyone run into this before?  Any words of wisdom on if it's possible to use sudo to run the df/inode tests in xymon?
