[Xymon] Server side external scripts not working

Hi All,

I am using xymon 4.3.10. I have a server side external script in ~xymon/server/ext/. I have added an entry for the script in ~xymon/server/etc/tasks.cfg as follows:

[test] ENVFILE $XYMONHOME/etc/xymonserver.cfg CMD $XYMONHOME/ext/test LOGFILE $XYMONSERVERLOGS/test.log INTERVAL 6m

I have made an entry for the same in hosts.cfg as well. In browser, a new column is updated with this test name but nothing is being shown other than a horizontal line.

When i restarted the xymon server, i got this in my LOGFILE :

2013-04-17 16:14:02 Whoops ! Failed to send message (Connection failed) 2013-04-17 16:14:02 -> Could not connect to Xymon daemon at xymon-server-ip:1984 (Connection refused) 2013-04-17 16:14:02 -> Recipient 'xymon-server-ip', timeout 15 2013-04-17 16:14:02 -> 1st line: 'config hosts.cfg' 2013-04-17 16:14:02 Cannot load hosts.cfg from xymond, code 5 2013-04-17 16:14:02 Failed to load from xymond, reverting to file-load

I am not able to understand the problem. Is there anything I had left?

Thanks and Regards,
