Update... OK, Installed the current version of HM 14.96 as an eval on a W2019 server. Set the RMA_Manger on the W2019 box to 'look at' the Linux Mint box. The RMA 'see's it and can pull back the config - same as with the licenced version. I also get the same 'no rights' error msgs in the RMA_Manager...

Thanks Alex - I'll try an eval version tomorrow.

and audit tool just suggests my RMA password is a bit weak - which it is.

As per my previous posts on this, I got it installed and running and I can 'see' it from a Windows server running HostMonitor. (see attached pics) But Hostmonitor itself does not allow me to select 'RMA' as 'Test using' as it is greyed out. I've checked that the script files on the Linux box are set...

and as Alex points out, the RMA file in the D/L archive is set to be executable - but one loses that flag if you D/L and uncompress on a Windows box rather than directly to the Linux host.

Long story short..... 1) Many thanks to Alex for his support and.. 2) The 'fix' on Mint 22.1 the rma 'executable' file needs to be made executable - obvious really but as a newbie to Mint I made the wrong assumption. 3) So run chmod a+x rma to make the RMA executable. 4) It will then run in a termin...

~~later~~

You mention a file, rma.services... but I don't seem to have that nor is a virgin copy in the tar archive I d/ld..

Any ideas? Thanks!

OK, I rolled back a week to a machine with no RMA bits on it. Downloaded https://www.ks-soft.net/download/rma/rma136_lin_64.tgz - which is the x64 RMA I want to install a simple passive RMA which HM (on another box) will periodically interrogate. As 'me' [sysadmin] (not root) create a dir called /sb...

Alex Good point re OS version - I didn't realize that was such an issue. Mine is: sysadmin@WM-Mint:~$ cat /etc/os-release NAME="Linux Mint" VERSION="22.1 (Xia)" ID=linuxmint ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian" PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 22.1" VERSION_ID="22.1" HOME...

Thanks for your patience - I'll revert soon!

OK, I just tried this: sysadmin@WM-Mint:~/sbin$ ./rma/rma -i -v -p 1055 /home/sysadmin/sbin/rma/rma.ini ------------------------------------------------------------- Application: RMA (Remote Monitoring Agent for HostMonitor) Version: 1.36 for Linux (Red Hat, Debian, Ubuntu) Copyright: 2004 - 2010 Al...

Hmmm... I've done as you suggested but still I get the same error msg. sysadmin@WM-Mint:~/sbin$ sudo systemctl enable rma [sudo] password for sysadmin: Synchronizing state of rma.service with SysV service script with /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install. Executing: /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-ins...

Thanks Alex - the system is a 'default' MINT set up so I'll try what you suggest.

Thanks!

Thanks Alex Still no luck. To answer your questions... 1) Yes, passive RMA which HM will call out to [I understand I have to open port 1055 on the Mint firewall to allow this.] 2) Yes, created the ini file as you advised and edited to reflect the location of the RMA. 3) and then I get this: sysadmin...

Alex -= still failing - (me that is!) I get: sysadmin@WM-Mint:~/sbin/rma$ sudo ./rma_active -installservice [sudo] password for sysadmin: sudo: ./rma_active: command not found sysadmin@WM-Mint:~/sbin/rma$ ls cpu.sh INSTALL LICENSE proccnt.sh proclist.sh README rma rma.ini sysadmin@WM-Mint:~/sbin/rma...

Thanks Alex - great as ever. I'll try this & revert - been OOO for a few days ....
