[Xymon] file monitoring

[Tim McCloskey]

Solaris 10 x86 LFS Large File Support cludge.

[xymon-4.3.5/build]# gcc -Wall -o test-lfs-std test-lfs.c 
test-lfs.c: In function `main':
test-lfs.c:15: warning: long long int format, different type arg (arg 4)

[xymon-4.3.5/build]# ./test-lfs-std 4
4:1:-76788513399373824

[xymon-4.3.5/build]# getconf LFS_CFLAGS
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

[xymon-4.3.5/build]# gcc -Wall -o test-lfs-std test-lfs.c `getconf LFS_CFLAGS`
[xymon-4.3.5/build]# ./test-lfs-std 4
8:1:0

[xymon-4.3.5/build]# getconf LFS64_CFLAGS
-D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

[xymon-4.3.5/build]# gcc -Wall -o test-lfs-lfs test-lfs.c `getconf LFS64_CFLAGS` -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
[xymon-4.3.5/build]# ./test-lfs-lfs 8
8:1:0

I'm out of time on this one but the cludge above has been tested on a handful of Solaris 10 x86 boxes (64bit), tested on global zone and child zone.
There is some info in sys/types.h and the man page for lfcompile.  xymon/hobbit version should not matter, and this is NOT a xymon issue.  

STDRES="`./test-lfs-std 4`"
        if test "$STDRES" != "4:1:0" -a "$STDRES" != "8:1:0"; then

I did say cludge, right?

Regards, 

Tim

Hmm, good question, Tim !

don't really know, cause it's a default csw-package CSWhobbitc ...

.. but apperently it's not enabled :-(

thanks for answer
