So a couple things, If you run it from within ~xymon/client/bin/xymoncmd you wouldn't need to set all those environment variables. Actually, having it run from clientlaunch.cfg would do the same.

            You don't say what version of Xymon you are using. Is it the Teribithia package?  Is that how things are setup in there? I built my own, and I put the xymon-client variables file in /etc/sysconfig which is the standard for RedHat, as opposed to /etc/default which is a debianism.

            Where do you get the CLIENTHOSTNAME variable?   Setting this to `hostname`  got it to work for me from inside xymoncmd.
            /usr/lib/xymon/client or /usr/lib64/xymon/client?

From: Xymon [mailto:xymon-bounces at xymon.com] On Behalf Of Foster Patch Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2016 2:05 PM To: xymon at xymon.com Subject: [Xymon] RHEL EXT Script Help

Hello, I have quite a bit of experience how xymon works in Windows, and recently was given assignments to do some monitoring in Linux. (RHEL 6) Below is my script. It runs with no errors, but my Hobbit page is never propagated with the new monitor. I have also gone to /etc/clientlaunch.cfg and put in the necessary lines to run this script. I am at a loss as to what is wrong, and why it will not propagate. Any help? (XYMSRV has an actual IP Address in it)

#!/bin/sh

. /etc/default/xymon-client

export XYMSRV="xxx.xx.xxx.xx" export BBHOME="/usr/lib/xymon/client" export OUTSIDENAME="$CLIENTHOSTNAME" export BB="${BBHOME}/bin/xymon" export BBDISP=$XYMSRV export REALMACHINE="echo $OUTSIDENAME | sed 's/\./,/g'" export TARGETMACHINE="${REALMACHINE}"

export TEST="CFENGINE"

if [ ! "$TEST" ]; then exit fi

if [ "${TARGETMACHINE}" == "${REALMACHINE}" ]; then LINE="status $REALMACHINE.$TEST green date<BR> <CENTER><I><FONT SIZE=+2> This machine is not actively running this service in the cluster. </FONT></I> </CENTER> "; # NOW USE THE BB COMMAND TO SEND THE DATA ACROSS #$BB $BBDISP "$LINE" # SEND IT TO BBDISPLAY $BB $BBDISP "$LINE" # SEND IT TO BBDISPLAY

    fi
