You need to put a './' in front of the commands: /home/xymon/server/bin $ ./xymon yada yads. Unix/Linux is not DOS, the current directory is not in the search path by default, and it shouldn't be.

Thanks, Larry Barber

I am unable to deleted and rename a host in the Xymon. Please help to get this done with proper command and syntax.

To Delete of an entire host in Xymon I did the following: Remove the host from the ~/server/etc/hosts.cfg file. Then ran the following command from path /home/xymon/server/bin xymon 127.0.0.1 "drop HOSTNAME"

[Getting below error: bash: xymon: command not found]

To rename a host in the Xymon display I did the following: Changed the ~/server/etc/hosts.cfg file so it has the new name. Then ran the following command from path /home/xymon/server/bin xymon 127.0.0.1 "rename OLDHOSTNAME NEWHOSTNAME"

That should work.

Executed above command to remove all traces of a host, but getting below error: 2013-05-27 15:07:22 Whoops ! Failed to send message (timeout) 2013-05-27 15:07:22 -> 2013-05-27 15:07:22 -> Recipient '127.0.0.1', timeout 15 2013-05-27 15:07:22 -> 1st line: 'drop uspvl3k153.rdigest.com<http://uspvl3k153.rdigest.com>'

Are you running the command on the Xymon server? If so, it's unusual that you get a time-out trying to connect to localhost. If the Xymon daemon is running, you should get an instant connection. If it's not running, you should get an instant connection refused. A time-out is more typical of a filtered connection, such as when a Xymon client cannot connect to a Xymon server because of a firewall in the middle. But to localhost? I'm a bit puzzled by this. Are you running a host-based packet filter, such as netfilter, iptables, ipfw?

Can you connect using telnet:

$ telnet 127.0.0.1 1984 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connection to 127.0.0.1 Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> quit $
