To monitor Linknx activity, I'm using the XML interface of Linknx to get its status and verify it is responding.
The command to use is "<read><version/></read>". Linknx responds with a complete status.
You can write a script to send this command, check the answer, and send a email if there's something wrong. And call this script cyclically, for example through the crontab.
hi,
i want to hand over some logics to linkx. and therefore check on the knx-bus if linknx is running. how do i do this?
can linknx send some value to a GroupAdress of its running-state? or is there an internal watchdog, to use for this?
some sort of rule to do this?
at the moment i am a litte clueless.. need some help. …
thanks,+

I recently posted a script on the EIB-domotique forum. This script is able to send the read version, get the answer, and extract the version id of Linknx. https://sites.google.com/site/domotiqueeib/al31_h?pli=1
Hope it helps
