Here's something I posted to the xymon list, suggesting they extend their runclient.sh script a bit to allow passing additional args that would make it behave well when invoked with a straightforward launchd plist that didn't need daemondo. I tried to cc it over here, but I'm subscribed there using a different email than I use here, so it bounced here. It seems straightforward enough to me, aside from needing to change the pathnames in the plist for some other installation location. I'm probably going to use my own builds, since I have to do them for Solaris and Linux anyway. But if they accept this (so you don't have to patch runclient.sh), you might look at the plist that doesn't need daemondo - which I think I tried ages ago and never had much luck with. Absent the xymonlaunch --no-daemon option, either some trickery like daemondo or a StartupItem would be needed; but StartupItems, simple though they were, no longer work as of Yosemite I think - definitely not as of El Capitan, since some of the pieces are missing to run them. Regardless, you might want to update xymon soon, since they just released an update for it to address CVE-2016-2054, 2056, 2057, and 2058; and for initial installations, mitigation for CVE-2016-2055 (which might require a bit of manual intervention to tighten permissions in existing installations). See http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2016-February/042986.html for the full info. ================================= begin quoted message ================================== The modified runclient.sh will also exec xymonlaunch rather than run it and wait for it, if --no-daemon is passed; might as well save one shell process. :-) It also allows passing --debug and --verbose options through to xymonlaunch. None of which should affect its conventional use. On Feb 9, 2016, at 09:35, Richard L. Hamilton <rlham...@gmail.com> wrote: |
