It may be running but fails and doesn't send an update to the server. Try setting:
#! /bin/bash -xon the first line of the script and then look at the log file. And do rename the logfile to hobbit-patch.log...

Hi
I have an ext script to check for the status of available patches on my hosts. Once I have updated the patches, I restart the xymon-client so that the test will go green again. Occasionally the ext script will not run on restart. Is there a way I can debug what the xymon client is choosing to run? How does xymon track the interval after a restart? My clientlaunch fragment looks like:
[patches] ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/ext/hobbit-patch.sh LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/logs/hobbit-patch.sh INTERVAL 6h
Client version:
ii xymon-client 4.3.17-6+deb8u1 amd64 client for the Xymon network monitor
Thanks for any advice!
Iain
