I have the following in my hobbit-clients.cfg file.

DEFAULT UP 1h DISK "%^/cdrom.*/" IGNORE DISK "%^/mnt.*/" IGNORE

I do not have an individual HOST line for the server in question, but it comes back red with the below on this particular server.

red /cdrom/sol_10_509_sparc (100% used) has reached the PANIC level (95%)

Any idea why this might be happening. I have these same lines on some specific HOSTS in the file and they work fine, but I wanted to switch it to the DEFAULT and doesn't seem to want to work for me.

It is generally not a good idea to put such rules in the DEFAULT section; it really is meant only for setting the default thresholds.

Instead, put these in a "HOST=*" section right above the DEFAULT section.

Hi all

I just had a scan through one of my old USB thumb-drives on my key-ring, and behold, I found a copy of my version from 2006. Doing a compare though, I see the only change is to use a different instance of ksh. I think I must have got fed up trying to mod the code.

Sorry I can't help you much further.

Regards Vernon

I remember bumping into this one some time back. I cannot remember how I fixed it - although I have vague recollections of modifying it to suite my ksh version. That was about 5 or 6 contracts ago, so I no longer have the code, but I think I did pass it on to somebody on the list.

There is also a remake of bb-moracle on the Xymonton web page. It looks like it needs sh, making it a little more portable. Why not check if that will suit you needs?

It may be important to keep in mind the different versions of Korn shell. I cannot remember which script assumed that I had ksh93 which wasn't the version installed on our Solaris machines, maybe it was AIX or HPUX who knows. So it caused errors that could only be resolved by knowing the differences and how to resolve those differences between the older and newer versions of Korn shell. Regardless, although it took me some time to understand some database details, dbcheck.pl seemed to be a better tool that you can run from the Xymon server.

I have an script for checking my database. I am getting an error but I am unable to trouble shoot.

/xymon/client/ext/bb-roracle.ksh[58]: (VAR0+=2),(VAR1+=2): syntax error /xymon/client/ext/bb-roracle.ksh[58]: (VAR0+=2),(VAR1+=2): syntax error bash-3.00#

The script appears to use the Korn Shell (ksh), so you'll have to install that for it to work. From the command prompt, it seems you are running Bash.

On Linux, you can usually install the "ksh" or "pdksh" packages to get a working ksh. And make sure the first line of the script points to your "ksh" binary, like

#!/bin/ksh

if it is installed in /bin
