Warning, newbie question,



Currently xymon shows states by colored icons. The alt tag of the image is fi=
lled with the name of the icon color (for visuality impaired?). In case the i=
con states the status of a single resource, it would be more useful to fill t=
he alt tag with the actual message. As an example the disk status icon:



<A HREF=3D"/xymon-cgi/svcstatus.sh?HOST=3Dsodn025w5&amp;SERVICE=3Ddisk"><IMG

SRC=3D"/xymon/gifs/red.gif" ALT=3D"disk:red:14d21h55m" TITLE=3D"disk:red:14d2=
1h55m"

HEIGHT=3D"16" WIDTH=3D"16" BORDER=3D0></A></TD>



I would rather have the ALT and TITLE tag filled with the actual message:



       Disk D 98% 14d21h55m



Can this be done simply?



BTW 4.3.9 doesn't compile on 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64:



httptest.c: In function =C3=A2add_http_test=C3=A2:

httptest.c:552: error: =C3=A2errno=C3=A2 undeclared (first use in this functi=
on)

httptest.c:552: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

httptest.c:552: error: for each function it appears in.)

make[1]: *** [httptest.o] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xymon-4.3.9/xymonnet'

make: *** [xymonnet-build] Error 2



Adding include <errno.h> helps :)
