Hi Colin
You need to explicitly set the "lifetime" of the test result, which defaults to 30 minutes. Search for LIFETIME in bb man page.
"The LIFETIME defines how long this status is valid after being received by the Xymon server. The default is 30 minutes, but you can set any period you like. E.g. for a custom test that runs once an hour, you will want to set this to at least 60 minutes - otherwise the status will go purple after 30 minutes. It is a good idea to set the LIFETIME to slightly more than the interval between your tests, to allow for variations in the time it takes your test to complete. The LIFETIME is in minutes, unless you add an "h" (hours), "d" (days) or "w" (weeks) immediately after the number, e.g. "status+5h" for a status that is valid for 5 hours. "

Hi all
I have this entry in clientlaunch.cfg on all my Xymon clients:
[rhncfg] ENVFILE /etc/xymon/client/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/rhncfg.sh INTERVAL 60m
The problem I'm having is the client status for this test turns purple after approx 30 minutes. I know the script is working correctly. If I reduce INTERVAL to 30 minutes or under, the test doesn't go purple, but the remote server administrators are not happy with the amount of connections this test generates so 60m is not minimum I'm allowed.
Any ideas?
