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.
