[Xymon] ext script does not run on client restart

[Iain M Conochie]

Hi

   I have an ext script to check for the status of available patches on 
my hosts. Once I have updated the patches, I restart the xymon-client so 
that the test will go green again. Occasionally the ext script will not 
run on restart. Is there a way I can debug what the xymon client is 
choosing to run? How does xymon track the interval after a restart? My 
clientlaunch fragment looks like:

[patches]
         ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg
         CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/ext/hobbit-patch.sh
         LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/logs/hobbit-patch.sh
         INTERVAL 6h

Client version:

ii  xymon-client                   4.3.17-6+deb8u1          amd64        
client for the Xymon network monitor


Thanks for any advice!
