best way to determine if the Xymon server just started?
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.

Just look at the hobbitd column. Goes yellow for 5 minutes when it restarts and says...

Ok, I could just do this in the script:
xymon 0 "xymondboard host=xymon1 test=xymond color=green"
As long as that returns green then execute the script. Thanks for the hint Josh.

To unsubscribe from the xymon list, send an e-mail to xymon-unsubscribe at xymon.com
You can tail the hobbitlaunch.log to get that data too.

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" .
