[Spam:] Re: WG: WG: clientlaunch.cfg: CRONDATE problem / error?

20 Jun 2012

Hello,

Thank you - that was my fault - your tip did the trick for me. Now I have the new version of xymonlaunch in place and the issue with CRONDATE is solved.

Thanks a lot!

Hi. Sorry, I missed this one earlier.

[root at xymon common]# patch -p0 <xymonlaunch.c.patch
[root at xymon common]# make

The patch went okay (although -p3?), but you're running "make" from the
common directory instead of the main directory.

"cd .." to the main xymon directory and re-run "make" from there and it
should rebuild fine.

HTH,

Hello,
i found an article describing how to patch a source code. I have created a
file xymonlaunch.c.patch in the common directory from my xymon install
directory. The file contains just this code:

--- trunk/common/xymonlaunch.c  2012/02/02 23:00:35     6905
+++ trunk/common/xymonlaunch.c  2012/02/07 10:19:43     6906
@@ -260,7 +260,8 @@
                else if (curtask && (strncasecmp(p, "CRONDATE ", 9) == 0))
{
                        p+= 9;
                        xfreedup(curtask->cronstr,p);
-                       if (curtask->crondate) {
crondatefree(curtask->crondate);curtask->crondate=parse_cron_time(curtask->cronstr);
}
+                       if (curtask->crondate)
crondatefree(curtask->crondate);
+                       curtask->crondate =
parse_cron_time(curtask->cronstr);
                        if (!curtask->crondate) {
                                errprintf("Can't parse cron date:
%s->%s\n", curtask->key,
curtask->cronstr);
                                curtask->disabled = 1;
Then i did the following (with some errornous results):
[root at xymon common]# patch -p0 <xymonlaunch.c.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

Thank you for this information.
Unfortunately I don't know how to apply a patch or to re-compile
xymonlaunch - can you point me to the right way to do this?

This is fixed in trunk and the 4.3.7 branch, but isn't in the tarball.
http://xymon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xymon?view=revision&revision=6906
http://xymon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xymon?view=revision&revision=6899
This specific patch should fix it:

Hello out there,
we are using Xymon 4.3.7 as xymon server. There is a particular client
running Ubuntu 9.04 as operating system and Xymon 4.3.7 as client,
reporting successfully to the Xymon server.
I have been in the need to write a script that is running on a fixed
time
of a day. Therefore I configured the script in the clientlaunch.cfg on
the
client as follows:
[xymoncheckscript-custom]
           ENVFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/etc/xymonclient.cfg
           CMD $XYMONCLIENTHOME/ext/xymoncheckscript-custom.sh
           LOGFILE $XYMONCLIENTHOME/logs/ xymoncheckscript-custom.log
           CRONDATE 0 11 * * *
When restarting the xymon services on the client I get the following
entry
in clientlaunch.log:
2012-06-13 10:58:53 Can't parse cron date: xymoncheckscript-custom->0 11
*
* *
The man page of tasks.cfg has the section:
===============================================================
[monthlyreport]
ENVFILE /usr/local/xymon/server/etc/xymonserver.cfg
CMD /usr/local/xymon/server/ext/monthlyreport.sh
CRONDATE 30 4 1 * *
:
:
The CRONDATE keyword is used for tasks that must run at regular
intervals
or at a specific time. The time specification is identical to the one
used
by cron in
crontab<http://xymon.mrv.de/xymon/help/manpages/man5/crontab.5.html>(5)
entries, i.e. a sequence of numbers for minute, hour, day-of-month,
month
and day-of-week. Three-letter abbreviations in english can be used for
the
month and day-of-week fields. An asterisk is a wildcard. So in the
example
above, this job would run once a month, at 4:30 AM on the 1st day of
the
month.
===============================================================
For my understanding everything I've set up should work, but it
doesn't.
Where's my fault? I would really like to fire this check-script from
clientlaunch.cfg instead of an crontab entry.
Regards
Christian
