I’ve never tried Xymon. I usually stick to nagios, but I’m looking into zabbix at the moment, hard to understand at first but really powerful.

I just did this – and rebooting Host (instead of looking for running proc’s – cuz the pipe was not working… Update 5 ESXi arg!) worked fine… now I can SSH in.

Now… to get Xymon working on that console….

You need to make sure that you restart inetd. Type the following.

ps | grep inetd

And it should display this.

/vmfs/volumes/4991bc35-5ced5b0c-a99e-00221953f98d # ps | grep inetd
1294 1294 busybox inetd

Then type “kill -HUP 1294″ or you can restart the vmware host machine, but that will bring down your guest operating systems.

Cheers,
