Init 6 is reboot so that location is pointless.

If you're not running a GUI it's run level 3, if you are then run level 5.
To see what you're in right now type 'runlevel'.

 I followed all of these instructions, made the script and placed it in my
startup which is located in /etc/init.d/rc6.d
I restarted and it didn't work.  When I test the script it works but it
prompts me for the password of the user.  How do I get past this.  I did so
the chmod 755 command.

Let me clarify, you need to modify /etc/init.d/hobbit so the variables at
the top match how you installed Xymon.

Just execute those commands (as root) and you'll be done.

 I am still learning about Linux and am not sure how to do this. I
searched online and found the following:

cd /etc/init.d
wget http://iam8up.com/xymon-initd/hobbit
chmod 755 hobbit
ln -s /etc/init.d/hobbit /etc/rc3.d/S70hobbit

I rebuilt the server from scratch this morning and am actually using the 4.3.5 version
released today so I am sure the above doesn't apply.  I am running Ubuntu 11.4
Sorry to be such a novice.

Put a start up script in /etc/rc3.d or /etc/rc5.d

It's working now. I restarted the xymon.sh service.  Not sure what
happened.


When I click to view a report on my xymon installation I get "Cannot
load host configuration".  I am not sure what I messed up.  I can see the
main page just fine it's just when I click on a smiley face.  In my apache
logs I see 'Could not connect to Xymon deamon at 127.0.0.1:1984(Connection refused);
'xymonboard fields=hostname,testname,disabletime,dismsg'

All I did was reboot the server.
