[Xymon] Enable/disable Issue

[Scott Birl]

Is the port required for the RECIPIENT?

Try running:  ./xymon --debug 127.0.0.1:1985 "disable xymon.comm 1m powered_down_for_now"

This is what I get now:

$ ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "disable xymon.comm 1m powered_down_for_now"
Xymon version 4.3.28
Usage: ./xymon [--debug] [--merge] [--proxy=http://ip.of.the.proxy:port/] RECIPIENT DATA
  RECIPIENT: IP-address, hostname or URL
  DATA: Message to send, or "-" to read from stdin

Is using xymon a valid host considering I see it in the list of hosts to disable on the Enable/disable page? Not sure if that's the issue.

Instead of "-1" trying using "1m" (for 1 minute).


Ive always had problems with spaces with the "why", so where you have
    powered down for now
I had to change to
    powered_down_for_now

... so just in case you get another error.

Ok I tried again and I get this:

$ ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "disable xymon.comm -1 powered down for now"
Unknown option -1
Xymon version 4.3.28
Usage: ./xymon [--debug] [--merge] [--proxy=http://ip.of.the.proxy:port/] RECIPIENT DATA
RECIPIENT: IP-address, hostname or URL
DATA: Message to send, or "-" to read from stdin

Is my syntax incorrect?
