[Xymon] possible to test against "who"?

[Root, Paul T]

You'd need a custom script for it. Pretty simple

$HOST = `hostname`;
$TEST = 'who`;
$COLOR='green';
@users=`who`;

push (@output, "Who Test");

while $user (@users) {
    @user = split (/\s/, $user);
    If ($user[0] eq 'root') {
                $COLOR='red' ;   # or yellow whatever
                # do other stuff for formatting
                push (@output, "\&red");      # built in  icon
   }
   push (@output, $user);
}

if (!open (XYMON, "$ENV{XYMON} $XYMSRV \"status+$StatusTimeout $HOST.$TEST $COLOR @output\" |")) {
                print "$prog: WARNING Can not run $XYMON $XYMSRV\n";
}

    close (XYMON);

Subject: [Xymon] possible to test against "who"?

Is anyone doing any tests against the "who" test?

I would possibly like to alert if root (linux) or administrator (windows) is logged into a server.

I have never seen this done before nor do I find anything in the docs for analysis.cfg.  With today's heightened security awareness this may be something others would be interested in also.

Thanks,
John
