I assume the error is because tasks.cfg contains this:
Include add-on modules.
directory /usr/pkg/share/xymon/xymonhome/etc/tasks.d
Which doesn't exist.
This directory should be created by "make install" or by the package definition (eg spec file, for RPM-based systems). I'm guessing that the "tasks.cfg" file was updated with the "include" but the installer for BSD was not updated accordingly.
Actually, I think "make install" won't create this subdir either.
Having pkgsrc create it is not a problem.
Is there documentation on using / setting up tasks.d?
"install.html" is included in the source, and should be in the installed package. You should be able to view it from the menu. Or here: http://xymon.org/xymon/help/install.html
I don't see anything there about tasks.d. I am somewhat familiar with hobbit, having run it for a while, but I'm trying to see what has changed and how to use new things in xymon. I'm starting by replacing my network test server. I just would like to know more about what tasks.d is for and how to use it. The same is likely true for other new features I just haven't gotten to yet.
Thanks, Tracy
