I solved the problem, it's the operating system stack A problem combination is an updated (linux >=2.6.23) kernel, but missing or suspect glibc support (glibc<=2.14) That applies exactly to RH6.7 My first solution is to put:

•           soft    stack   unlimited

•           hard    stack   unlimited

In /etc/security/limits.conf Not the best, but works

Hi Luca,

That seems like a valid config. Can you run xymond_alert in --debug or --trace mode to see what it's sending?

Although I'm not aware of a specific change around this area, what version were you coming from?

Also, can you verify the whitespace on this and that the second line is indented from the first?

Lastly, can you try without the 'FORMAT=SCRIPT' on the line itself? (It shouldn't make a difference in the parsing, but still.)

Regards, -jc

Hello, I've compiled xymon 4.3.24 from source on a redhat 6.7 64bit Now when I setup a SCRIPT in alerts.cfg I get this error:

2016-01-19 15:14:49.091235 Could not launch paging script /tmp/test_alert.sh: Argument list too long

On another (older) installation the script works fine? What I got wrong? Here is the entry in alerts.cfg

HOST=firfs1.mil.esselunga.net SERVICE=ftp SCRIPT /tmp/test_alert.sh test FORMAT=SCRIPT REPEAT=1

MAIL works fine

Thanks

Luca
