[Xymon] Enable/disable Issue

[Root, Paul T]

No, this won’t work.   You need to escape the interior double quotes.

But they are extraneous.

Something like this should work:

./xymon 127.0.0.1 "disable xymon.conn 1m "powered\ down\ for\ now""
./xymon 127.0.0.1 "disable xymon.conn -1 "powered\ down\ for\ now""

Need to escape the spaces with backslashes in the message and also put the <message> in it's own quotation marks. I do commands like this from the command line all the time. Using "-1" will also work to "disable until OK", instead of specifying a duration like "1m".

Try running:  ./xymon --debug 127.0.0.1:1985<http://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<https://imss91-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fip.of.the&umid=F0B1E764-9493-DC05-9E9A-259E0E07611B&auth=19120be9529b25014b618505cb01789c5433dae7-38873bbee2dec200f6ab02ba4b39fe9394b7e3ca>.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<https://imss91-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fip.of.the&umid=F0B1E764-9493-DC05-9E9A-259E0E07611B&auth=19120be9529b25014b618505cb01789c5433dae7-38873bbee2dec200f6ab02ba4b39fe9394b7e3ca>.proxy:port/] RECIPIENT DATA
RECIPIENT: IP-address, hostname or URL
DATA: Message to send, or "-" to read from stdin

Is my syntax incorrect?
