Thanks Michael,

I've tried that, but when I reinstall swatch, I don't get swatch-3.0.2-0BX13.el6.noarch ....

After the re-install, there still isn't an /etc/swatch.conf

swatch on its own won't run...

Having removed swatch and reinstalled it with yum, my yum run produces:

[root at server ~]# yum install swatch

Loaded plugins: priorities, security

118 packages excluded due to repository priority protections

swatch isn't in /usr/sbin, it goes into /usr/bin...

Is the version of swatch I'm getting coming from the wrong repository perhaps?

My repository list looks like:

[root at server ~]# yum repolist
