clientlaunch.cfg: CRONDATE problem / error?
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.

This is fixed in trunk and the 4.3.7 branch, but isn't in the tarball.

Hello,
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?
Best regards Christian
