Hello,
I have now separated two commands in two shell scripts and having error repeating twice in log. I have installed fcron on my slackware system.
Use of uninitialized value $val in division (/) at /usr/lib64/monitorix/gensens.pm line 156.

Hello,
If you use only a single script to execute these two commands you must
keep in mind that the second command will be executed 5 seconds later.
That won't scale well if you plan to track more pings. Better use a
crontab line for each command.
I don't know that is 'fcron', I only have 'cronie' in my Fedora.
Regarding the error in the log file, can you, please, paste here the
section <gensens> from your configuration file?
Regards.

I have created a shell script with above commands. When the script is
run manually it is working fine. Getting the two graphs in monitorix.
But when same script is run in fcron only ping2 graph is displaying
correctly. My crontab entry is
* * * * * root sh /root/bin/monitorix_ping_gensens.sh
Error in /var/log/monitorix is Use of uninitialized value $val in
division (/) at /usr/lib64/monitorix/gensens.pm line 156.
What I have tried: Disabling fcron entry and running script manually
works fine. With fcron only ping2 graph is working.
Sincerely,
Wilson Rodrigues
