This did the trick. THANKS!

Ah! Yes it is. It did not occur to me that the network test machines
didn't run hobbitd. I will give that a try.

Note that I can't get the machine that DOES run hobbitd to work right in
this regard either, but I'll ask another question about that if need be.

I checked to see where this LOGFILE is supposed to be going:
BBSERVERLOGS="/opt/xymon-4.2.3/log"
So I looked in there:
ls -la /opt/xymon-4.2.3/log/
total 3228

No such file.

The "NEEDS hobbitd" line means that the "hobbitd" task must be started,
before "hobbitclient" will run. Since there is no "hobbitd.log" in
that directory either, I assume you have disabled the "hobbitd" task.
Perhaps this is a server that only runs network tests ?

Anyway, remove the "NEEDS hobbitd" line, and it should start up
just fine.


Regards,
Henrik
