My apologies to anyone who gets this on a digest I'm having some odd issues with procs on a database cluster and I would be very grateful for any clues!

We have multiple rule sets to cut down on multiple alerts for shared disk, and because some have more capacity

db0-db6 are Solaris 10 servers (there is no db8) running xymon 4.3.10 db11-db62 are RHEL Linux running a mix of xymon 4.3.10 and 4.3.7 server is a RHEL VM running xymon 4.3.10

Procs have been screwey for a while, but we only noticed when we added rngd testing to the linux boxes

db1, db2, db3, db6 are alerting for missing rngd . db0, db4 and db5 are NOT (this is particularly puzzling since db5&db6 share a rule set, as do db0 and db1. I'd expect them to go as pairs.

db1, db2, db3, and db6 all show:

[image: green] cron (found 1, req. 1 or more)[image: green] nscd (found 1, req. 1 or more)[image: green] xntpd (found 1, req. 1 or more)[image: green] cron (found 1, req. 1 or more)[image: green] nscd (found 1, req. 1 or more)[image: green] ntpd (found 1, req. 1 or more)[image: yellow] rngd (found 0, req. 1 or more)[image: green] cron (found 1, req. 1 or more)

db0, db4 and db5 all show:

[image: green] cron (found 1, req. 1 or more)[image: green] nscd (found 1, req. 1 or more)[image: green] xntpd (found 1, req. 1 or more)[image: green] cron (found 1, req. 1 or more)

That last cron comes from a HOST=* rule atthe end.

Can you find what is wrong with the lines below? #-------------------#Database Servers HOST=%^db[0|1].example.com MEMPHYS 100 101 MEMSWAP 85 95 PROC cron 1 -1 yellow PROC nscd 1 -1 yellow PROC xntpd 1 -1 yellow

(there are usually more LOG lines but I removed them for clarity, and verified that the errors persist)
