What ID (root? xymon?) can display monitoring message?
Hello xymon gurus,I'm writing a simple instruction to display on xymon such as: /home/xymon/server/bin/bb 172.20.10.5 "status centos_hp0.testexmple green testing" I'm doing this as user xymon, who else can perform this test? root? Thanks.Kern -- Let's go GreenThis email contains 100% recycled electrons.
Anyone who can open a network connection to 172.20.10.5 on port 1984
Your binary ('bb') is making a network connection to 172.20.10.5 to submit the string "status . . . " Your local system may use the local userid to limit access to that specific binary, but there is nothing preventing anyone from using some other binary on your system (or on another system on the network) to submit the same string.
