[Xymon] Enable/disable Issue

[Scott Birl]

1985 ... old notes.  It's since been moved back to 1984.
The reason why I suggested "1m" was because of the posted example:

       $ ./xymon 127.0.0.1 "disable xymon.comm -1 powered down for now"
       Unknown option -1


But yes, -1 should have worked.

Port is optional.  It defaults to 1984. Looks like you have your server on 1985, perhaps a proxy on 1984 and the server on 1985. I do that.

Is the port required for the RECIPIENT?

Try running:  ./xymon --debug 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=https://imss91-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fip.of.the.proxy%3aport%2f%5d&umid=DE00A3CF-9493-C005-B6DD-AE67F814867A&auth=19120be9529b25014b618505cb01789c5433dae7-882af0fa371f1557c5d79b90b9775eec9bd8b37e 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=https://imss91-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=http%3a%2f%2fip.of.the.proxy%3aport%2f%5d&umid=DE00A3CF-9493-C005-B6DD-AE67F814867A&auth=19120be9529b25014b618505cb01789c5433dae7-882af0fa371f1557c5d79b90b9775eec9bd8b37e RECIPIENT DATA
RECIPIENT: IP-address, hostname or URL
DATA: Message to send, or "-" to read from stdin

Is my syntax incorrect?
