Hello,
I just installed my first stand alone client reporting to my xymon server. During setup, I did something that caused xymonlaunch to crash. The xymonlauch red alert said, "- Program crashed Fatal Signal Caught!" I think it had something to do with permissions as I FTP'd the clientlauch.cfg over as root and the file was secured as root:root:. I believe the error was a signal 6??? maybe 5? ... Anyway, I fixed the permissions, and bounced the client, and things came up and are working.
However, my "xymonlaunch" alert is now stuck in a "purple" state. The logs all look good, and I can tell that other xymon alerts for this client are reporting correctly. I also notice that my other system, the server/client system, shows a "-" for the xymonlaunch. This leads me to believe that this "xymonlaunch" alert is not configured to report unless there is a problem. If my assumption is correct, how can I clear the "purple" alert?
