The xymon package for Debian must be seriously hosed, there is no
runclient.sh script and no README.Client files.  I will try the one
from the 12.04 repository.

I installed  xymon-client_4.3.10_i386.deb from sourceforge:
Seems to be a packaging error in the client-package - it doesn't include the /etc/init.d/xymon-client script.

The real quick-and-dirty solution (until I figure out the Debian packaging bug) is to fetch the debian/xymon-client.init script from http://xymon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xymon/branches/4.3.10/debian/xymon-client.init?revision=7121

Copy it to /etc/init.d/xymon-client, then run

   chmod 755 /etc/init.d/xymon-client
   update-rc.d xymon-client 98 02
