Hostmonitor System Files

fishvict · Post by **fishvict** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 5:14 pm

Is it possible to move the system files that hostmonitor uses? (ie: the .lst files) I want to set them up in a one way DFS-R to a server in our disaster recovery site. This way, I don't have to manually move them everytime I make a change to Hostmonitor (ie: add a new RMA).

Thanks.

Sure, you can copy/move/remove configuration files. However you should copy all configuration files (*.LST, *.HML, *.INI) at the same time.
Its bad idea to copy some files, made changes in configuration and then copy rest of files.

Can I move them permanently to another directory? Ie: hostmonitor installs in c:\program files\hostmonitor6 and puts all the files in there. I want to create a directory called c:\hmon and put all of these files in there. Can I tell Hostmonitor to look in c:\hmon for the config files when it starts up?

Thanks.

Sure, you can move HostMonitor into another folder. You have to copy all *.ini, *.lst, *.hml files. However, in such case you will need to modify path to logs, path to reports, path to report templates (if you are using some), etc. Following article might be helpful: http://www.ks-soft.net/cgi-bin/phpBB/vi ... php?t=1099

You should modify all .ini files before start up HostMonitor in new folder. Please note: some paths and file names are stored inside HML and LST files (not just INI). So, you need review all options after start to make it work correctly.

I apologize, but I think I'm not stating what I want to do correctly.

I want hostmon.exe to be in C:\Program Files\Hostmonitor6
I want the .HML file and all of the .LST files to be in C:\Hmon

I know I can tell hostmonitor where my HML file is, but how do I tell Hostmonitor where the .LST files reside if they're in a different directory than where hostmon.exe resides?

Again, I apologize for not being clear in the first place.

Thanks,

LST and INI files MUST be located in the same directory where HostMonitor is located
