Doesn't Apple boast OS X (which I'm guessing you're talking about) is UNIX?

I would imagine you have gcc and can simply compile the (xymon client) source.

Does anyone know if there is a hobbit/bbwin/xymon client for MAC's? If there
is can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks

It would be nice to have a GUI-ified OSX native version of the client, however.
What I know so far are
1. xymon client is compiled ok on OS X S.L.
2. use GUI packagemaker to create simple hobbit client.
     but this is not up the quality of my own standard.

What I want to see is like this
1. use makefile to compile xymon client
2. generate xymonclient.pkg after "make osxpkg"
3. xymonclient.pkg
   3.1 preinstall(pre-flight) script
          3.1.1. add xymon client user and group account.
   3.2 post install script
         3.2.1 make sure xymon client can start up automatically after reboot.
   3.2 not sure if OS X support postremove script.
       if yes, remove xymon client user and group account.

I can work with someone know Cocoa programming and can put
a GUI frontend to process string setting in hobbitclient.cfg etc.
But GUI part is pretty low on my priority list since I am Unix person :)
