Upon further searching of mailing list I came across this. https://lists.xymon.com/archive/2019-February/046058.html I re-ran my command with the 'sudo -u xymon' addition and it worked and xymond_history isn't crashing anymore.
$ cd /home/xymon/server/bin/
$ sudo -u xymon ./trimhistory --drop --dropsvcs --droplogs
--cutoff=date +%s --date="1 Jan 2019" --progress

Per the instructions found at https://xymon.sourceforge.io/xymon/help/manpages/man8/trimhistory.8.html I ran the following command to trim my very old log history and ever since then I'm getting the following crash alert.? Also when reviewing history via the webpage I get results but the time stamps are wonky.? I suspect it's because of the program crashing. Anyone know how to fix?
Trimhistory command I used:
$ ./trimhistory --drop --dropsvcs --droplogs --cutoff=date +%s --date="1 Jan 2019" --progress
Alert I'm receiving:
xymond_history purple [549922] red - Program crashed
Fatal signal caught!
