I've discovered what may be a bug in the xymondboard program. The difference between RHEL5 & RHEL6 is just the way I have my hosts.cfg.
If the host is in the main hosts.cfg, I can use the below script to acknowledgment an alert. If I use an "include hosts/filename" in my hosts.cfg, I am unable to acknowledge the alert.
Thanks, James

I'm having a problem getting acknowledged alerts on the critical view from Xymon.
We're migrating from Solaris 10 and RHEL 5.7 to a single RHEL 6.2 server. All servers are running Xymon version 4.3.7 compiled and installed from source.
I'm running into a problem with xymondboard. If I run this command on the Solaris server or the RHEL 6.2 server it doesn't return any acklist data, but it works on RHEL 5.7.
./bin/xymon localhost "xymondboard fields=hostname,testname,acklist host=HOSTNAME"
RHEL5: localhost|conn|1329871681:1329958081:1:jawood:test\n RHEL6: localhost|conn|
We use these results to populate the data for a custom view. I need to figure out what's different between the versions of Redhat.
Thanks,
James
