You'll want to set the lifetime so that it spans several reporting intervals. The default interval is 5 minutes, with a lifetime of 30 minutes, so that multiple reports can be missed before it shows purple dots. With a 60 minute interval, you should set the lifetime to at least 120: status+120

Xymon expects results every 5-10 minutes or the test will turn purple to indicate no report has been received. If you really want it to run every 60 minutes you need to put something to indicate that in the test. In the text sent back to the server you have to put something like status+60m or something like that. Look in the xymon man pages for the exact syntax.

Hey,
I have made a script which count how many times a string appears in a log file. Nothing special. And it works fine.
Doing the testing of this script I made the interval to 1m, just so I did not have to wait to long to test changes.
Now that I finish with the script I want the interval, configured in clientlaunch.cfg, to run every 60m, so I have changed it in clientlaunch.cfg.
But that result in the xymon server is complaining about stop reporting from the client on this custom check.
I have tried to delete the test status from the server, but with no luck.
Is there something I have misunderstood and is there a way to fix it?
Clientlaunch.cfg [razor-count] ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/ext/razor-report-count.sh LOGFILE /var/log/hobbit/razor-report-count.log INTERVAL 60m
Thanks,
Kim.
