I have several server side scripts that give me results I would rather not have soon after a Xymon server restart. What is the best way to determine if Xymon just started? I could poke around a bit, just wondered if someone already had some ideas already implemented. I will do something like exit 1 If xymon just started, otherwise continue.

Check the timestamp of the PID file.

#!/bin/sh

touch --date="1 hour ago" /tmp/1hourago if test $XYMONSERVERLOGS/xymond.pid -nt /tmp/1hourago then echo "Xymon restarted less than 1 hour ago" exit 0 fi

Probably requires the GNU version of "touch" .
