Running the Availability Report from a crontab entry
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?
Thanks, Bruce

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.

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

Where is xymonreports.sh?
(yes, I happen to need to implement something like this this week ....)

IMHO, this should be a separate package, and/or extension, and we should try and sort out/standardise extension deployment/packaging etc.

In the tarball... ./xymond/xymonreports.sh.DIST -> ./xymond/xymonreports.sh

Well, agreed... ;) But this, being in the distribution, seems like something best kept close to the original. Arguably tasks.cfg (or .d) is the proper location, now that we have CRONDATE as an option, whether disabled by default or not.

Ah, shipped in 4.3.x, but it doesn't really suit my needs ...
