One of my co-workers has installed xymon 4.3.7, and wants to use local mode for configuration. The display server is not receiving anything from his machine if things run normally, but when run by hand, xymon can send data from his server (Solaris) to the display server. I enabled xymond_client --debug in xymonclient.sh: if test "$LOCALMODE" = "yes"; then echo "@@" >> $MSGTMPFILE $XYMONHOME/bin/xymond_client --debug --local --config=$XYMONHOME/etc/localclient .cfg <$MSGTMPFILE And now I'm getting this: + ../bin/xymond_client --debug --local --config=../etc/localclient.cfg 11655 2012-02-14 16:20:29 Want msg 1, startpos 0, fillpos 0, endpos -1, usedbytes=0, bufleft=528383 11655 2012-02-14 16:20:29 Got 161874 bytes 11655 2012-02-14 16:20:29 ../bin/xymond_client: Got message 1 @client#1|0|127.0.0.1|neptune.lib.iastate.edu|sunos 11655 2012-02-14 16:20:29 startpos 161874, fillpos 161874, endpos -1 11655 2012-02-14 16:20:29 Opening file ../etc/localclient.cfg 11655 2012-02-14 16:20:29 Compiling regex ^/zones.*/ 11655 2012-02-14 16:20:29 Client report from host neptune.lib.iastate.edu 11655 2012-02-14 16:20:29 neptune.lib.iastate.edu: Duplicate client message at time 0, seq 1, lastseq 0 11655 2012-02-14 16:20:29 Want msg 2, startpos 161874, fillpos 161874, endpos -1, usedbytes=0, bufleft=366509 11655 2012-02-14 16:20:29 get_xymond_message: Returning NULL due to EOF + rm -f ../tmp/msg.neptune.lib.iastate.edu.txt I'm not sure where to go from here. Does local mode still work for most people? -Tracy
