No, I use mon-0-99-2.6. > The trap timeout bug is definitely known, and I believe fixed. (I know its > fixed in my version, I'm pretty sure its fixed in the 0.99.3 snapshots) Hmmm ok, then I'll try 0.99.3. > As to the dependencies problem, I'm not remembering any bugs with traps and > depedencies (though obviously only alert dependencies are relevant for > traps).

I just wondered why mon.cgi reports "depstatus=0" although I set dependencies (which are alright). It looks like it's just an reporting error, mon does not set alerts if the dependencies are down. In our case, dep_behavior is set to "m", and the dependencies are simply set to "SELF:ping" (service ping is existing). Thanks for your help, I'll try 0.99.3 then and check if it works as it should be :-) --Christian _______________________________________________ mon mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
