Why would you need to update that client?

See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Other_Docs/HOWTO#Why_.3F

Whatever it is, there is no built in way for the Xymon server to modify config files of the clients, sorry!

Xymon server does support "client binary update" ,see  http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/clientupdate.1.html
I am thinking of only upgrade hobbitclients.cfg file in a newer version of xymon client binary tar ball got created on xymon server.

a possible workaround solution but better than login into thousand of machines to do the change.
