[Xymon] Getting "ATT0001.bin" attachments sometimes -- MAILC fix is already in place

I just saw that you used single quotes and double escapes

tr -d '\\001\\004\\015'

I think you need

tr -d '\001\004\015' or tr -d "\\001\\004\\015"

(and restart xymon after making the change)

I did nearly the same thing found here, except I provided multiple characters:

Now I have set it like this, I will try it.

MAILC="tr -d \"\\001\\004\\015\" | mail"

Note that running the following command while logged into the same machine over ssh strips out those three characters:

cat bad-characters | tr -d '\001\004\015' > filtered

The double backslashes in the xymon config weren't my idea (it was suggested by the email thread I found), and I also tried it with single backslashes.

The xymon service was restarted after every change.
