[Xymon] Stale alerts not being purged

[John Thurston]

My Xymon (Xymon 4.3.30-1.el7.terabithia) is no longer noticing it is 
time to stop sending email alerts.

A customer will ping me, saying "I'm still getting emails for a problem 
I fixed 10 days ago!"

I find the messages in question in the /notifications.log/ Yep, there 
are a lot of them. I can see the test recovered ages ago, and there 
should no longer be notifications.

If I go look in /alert.chk/, I can see the host:test in question

If I restart xymon, the /alert.log/ will get a bunch of lines "Stale 
alert found", but the lines remain in the /alert.chk/

The only way I have figured out to clean this up is to grep the 'Stale' 
host:test pairs out of the /alert.log/, stop xymon, feed the host:test 
pairs through sed to delete the offending lines from /alert.chk/, and 
restart xymon.


Anyone have any ideas what's wrong here?

Do things because you should, not just because you can.
