[Xymon] ext script does not run on client restart

[Phil Crooker]

It may be running but fails and doesn't send an update to the server. Try setting: 

    #! /bin/bash -x

on the first line of the script and then look at the log file. And do rename the logfile to hobbit-patch.log...

Subject: [Xymon] ext script does not run on client restart

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!

Iain
