For those of you interested in better RPM package with also experimental SELinux support, there is rpm.patch for RHEL5/6 systems available at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3437504&group_id=128058&atid... which provides:
- Fixed xymon and xymon-client init scripts based on Fedora/RHEL standards.
- Configuration of init scripts stored in /etc/sysconfig.
- Fixes RPM building warnings.
- Experimental SELinux support - only know issues are not collecting ifconfig status and showgraph.cgi cannot send data to /var/lib/xymon/tmp/rrdctl.* (not sure if this is really an issue because graphs are correctly generated and displayed)
To apply the patch and build RPMs simply download xymon 4.3.5 and rpm.patch from [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3437504&group_id=128058&atid... -> Attached File] and then:
tar xf xymon-4.3.5.tar.gz cd xymon-4.3.5 patch -p1 < ../rpm.patch cp rpm/* $(rpmbuild -E '%_topdir' 2>/dev/null)/SOURCES cd .. tar czf xymon-4.3.5.tar.gz xymon-4.3.5 cp xymon-4.3.5.tar.gz $(rpmbuild -E '%_topdir' 2>/dev/null)/SOURCES cd $(rpmbuild -E '%_topdir' 2>/dev/null)/SOURCES sed -ie 's/@VER@/4.3.5/' xymon.spec rpmbuild -bb xymon.spec
At the end you should end up with Xymon RPMs in $(rpmbuild -E '%_topdir' 2>/dev/null)/RPMS/. SELinux support is in separate RPM package called xymon-selinux.
Thanks,

'better' than what? Have you looked at the other existing packages and repos, and existing work, or did you just decide to duplicate it and ignore outstanding issues (and thus create *another* set of packages which need to be supported by an ideal future single package)?
Unfortunately, for me upgrading cleanly from hobbit 4.2.2 and xymon-4.2.3 is an issue, for my own production systems, and for users of my packages (in a 2 distributions, and from my repo for RHEL/Centos/OEL).

This one would be shorter: tar xf xymon-4.3.5.tar.gz cd xymon-4.3.5 patch -p1 < ../rpm.patch sed -ie 's/@VER@/4.3.5/' xymon.spec cd .. tar czf xymon-4.3.5.tar.gz xymon-4.3.5 rpm -ta xymon-4.3.5.tar.gz
I would prefer if we could discuss this on the -devel list, between the 3 or 4 parties that have provided packages or repos, and come to agreement, and then I will commit fixes in svn.
