Applying Linux Memory Patch for rhel7 with kernel 3.10
Hello All,
I am trying to apply the following patch via the method below and I appear to be getting an error (patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.). I have not applied patches before so please excuse my lack of experience. My server is currently running Xymon version 4.3.19.
Generally, quick-fix patches such as this one are applied like this:
cd xymon-4.3.4 patch -p0 </tmp/infocolumn-crash.diff make clean make sudo make install
Since only the svcstatus.cgi binary is changed by the current patch, copying that file over to ~xymon/server/bin/ is fine instead of running "make install".
Regards, Henrik
I am trying to fix the memory display explained in the following article that also supplies the patch -

Please assist and explain the steps needed to apply patches and/or if a file can simply be edited/replaced for this specific task.
Thanks,
Michael
Out of curiosity why would you bother to patch such an old version? Why not upgrade?

I have not been through an upgrade yet and this is the first issue I have come across. Our current philosophy uses the attitude of, if it is not broke, do not fix it. Therefore, we do not look to upgrade unless critical or if there are security issues.
