Have the contents of cgi-bin and cgi-secure-bin always been symlinks? I don't think so...which means I had to add "FollowSymLinks" to my apache config file to allow it to work. I would prefer not to have to set this on my cgi folders.

This was a change in 4.3.18, with "cgiwrap" being a replacement for the original shell script wrappers to mitigate the Shellshock vulnerability.
One option, if you didn't want to add FollowSymLinks would be to store bin/cgiwrap directly in the cgi-bin,secure-bin directories under the original wrapper names. To save space, they could be hardlinked to the same binary on installation.

Thanks, I'll likely just change the definition in the xymon.conf file to point to the actual physical location when I get a chance to circle back. I'm just concerned about the security implications for allowing FollowSymLinks for my cgi areas.

I also noticed this change with 4.3.18. I hard linked the cgiwrap to each of the cgis, as I did not want to enable FollowSymLinks on the Apache web server.

Thank you J.C. for all the hard work!
Had a colleague just discover how awesome Xymon is - by installing and setting it up on his own network. Up until this past month he knew about it for _years_ (because I talk about it all the time :), but he finally installed it and can not stop raving about Xymon. :)
Great job, and thank you for all your contributions to Xymon!

Someone has pointed out here that columndoc.sh is not working. It must have been like this since the cgiwrap shellshock workaround went in. I would have had a go at a fix, but not sure where the preferred place would be, either add the QUERY_STRING into cgiwrap or deal with it directly in csvinfo?

I can confirm this is the case, and it's definitely a bug. A fix would be preferably in the translation layer that cgiwrap is doing, I'd think, if you'd like to submit one.
