devmon PID not running.

[Ambati Srinivas <am.srini (at) gmail.com>]

*Hi Guys,

Please, Please help me out.

I have installed Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on Sun Solaris* *(SunOS bsma06 5.10
Generic_139555-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R), I had successful
installation. I had installed Devmonn-0.3.0. and SNMP_Session-1.13 also to
monitor few network devices (Cisco Switches and routers). however when I
grep for devmon no PID shows up as shown below:

-bash-3.00# ps -ef | grep devmon
    root  6849  3708   0 14:06:33 pts/1       0:00 grep devmon
-bash-3.00# ps -ef | grep Devmon
    root  6858  3708   0 14:06:42 pts/1       0:00 grep Devmon
-bash-3.00# ps -ef | grep DEVMON
    root  6897  3708   0 14:07:01 pts/1       0:00 grep DEVMON

As shown in devmon.cfg
# PIDFILE: Sets the full path to the Devmon process ID file.  The directory
# containing this file should be read/writable by the user running the
Devmon
# process. (case sensitive) [DEFAULT: /var/run/devmon/devmon.pid]
PIDFILE=/var/run/devmon/devmon.pid

Please let me know what more details you may require.

some info I am providing: I manually changed owner and group of files to
root:root, earlier they were 501:501, which I didn't understand.
/usr/local/**devmo**n
-bash-3.00$ ls -l

Thanks so much.
