Hello all!
Xymon-4.3.22-beta has been posted to Sourceforge, containing bug fixes and a smattering of new features and improvements since 4.3.21. It's reachable at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xymon/files/Xymon/4.3.22/xymon-4.3.22-beta.t...
I am concerned that I see no mention in the changelog of any modification of combo test behavior. The behavior of combo tests (as defined in combo.cfg) is badly broken under Solaris. Failure, test conditions, and a stack excerpt are mentioned in my email to the list: http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2015-October/042382.html
It works correctly on my CentOS installation, but not Solaris. I was able to move my combo test to the CentOS server and forward the result to my Solaris server. This gets the job done for me, but should I be hit by a truck it could be a little difficult for the next person to unwind the convoluted path.
The general issue with parentheses should be fixed as of https://sourceforge.net/p/xymon/code/7708/, but more testing in that regard would always help.
I think the Solaris problem here is probably our good friend NULL-into-printf again, though I'd need to see the page output from the CentOS side in comparison to really say for sure.
I hadn't even announced the RC2 tarball from this morning yet, but if you get a chance if you could try the attached patch here with it on your Solaris machine, I believe it will solve the core issue.
