@Carl,
Thank, I believe that corrected the lingering telnet. It has not reappeared, thank you.
But I'm still not receiving alerts. We've intentionally left SSH disabled on this switch to trigger an alert, but emails don't seem to be going through.
What is the command to trigger a test email from xymon? I found this in the archives:
$ xymoncmd xymon_alert --test SWITCH1 ssh
But I get this:
2014-09-10 11:14:01 Using default environment file /usr/lib/xymon/client/etc/xymonserver.cfg 2014-09-10 11:14:01 execvp() failed: No such file or directory
I assume xymon doesn't stop sending alerts after a timeout period, right? We chose to use the SSH service since it doesn't affect our environment. We can add a fake hostname/ip as well. I fear may have something misconfigured since alerts won't go through at all.
