Hi all,

I know I have seen some discussion on how to do this, but my searching the archive has come up with nothing. Can anyone provide an example of how I would run the Availability report from a crontab entry, so I could produce a report automatically the first of every month for the last month?

From xymonreport.sh: "10 2 1 * * /usr/bin/xymoncmd --env=/etc/xymon/xymonserver.cfg xymonreports.sh monthly"

..should be all you need (adjust your paths as needed). If you want to be slick, drop versions of this into cron.daily/weekly/monthly instead.

Reports will be dropped into your webroot under /periodic.

HTH,

This is what I do in my RPM (with paths):

Install cron jobs for the xymonreports.sh script on the server

echo "#!/bin/sh

Run daily xymon reports

exec $XYMONHOME/bin/xymoncmd $XYMONHOME/bin/xymonreports.sh daily" > /etc/cron.daily/xymonreports

sed -e 's/daily/weekly/' /etc/cron.daily/xymonreports > /etc/cron.weekly/xymonreports sed -e 's/daily/monthly/' /etc/cron.daily/xymonreports > /etc/cron.monthly/xymonreports chmod 755 /etc/cron.*/xymonreports

Create destination directory

install -d /var/www/xymon/periodic
